Aria Double Ruffle Lace Cuffs
The Aria Double Ruffle Lace Cuffs were made with imported tulle and stretch lace from Japan. The ivory laces were all hand-dyed in small batches using a blend of Rose Tea and English Breakfast Tea before being sewn. The two layers of tulle lace were carefully hand-gathered, and the bows were hand-sewn from cotton satin ribbon imported from Kyoto, Japan. Each set of cuffs was lovingly handmade in my home sewing studio in California.
