"In 1920, my grandfather founded his Leavers lace factory with his wife, and acquired a dozen looms. In 1957, my father took over the family business of Leavers lace manufacture, and continued its development. I watched the company grow as my father took me there after leaving school. My mother, with her artistic spirit and sewing training, took over control of finishing. She creates pieces that can be found in boutiques in France and Italy. Lace, a subtle and timeless fabric, constantly reinvented through drawings and sketches, has stood the test of time and remains particularly popular. In 2014, Signature F. was born, in partnership with my two daughters, continuing the family story."
