This vintage 1930s hand-crocheted lace collar in soft ecru white is a timeless accessory that beautifully reflects the era in which it was made. Expertly handcrafted during the Great Depression, this piece is made from authentic vintage rayon crochet cord. This specialized, thicker multi-ply twist yarn was designed specifically during this era to provide a highly malleable, liquid-smooth drape with a beautiful subtle luster.
This piece comes from a time when new dresses were often financially out of reach, inspiring the classic fashion solution: “Change the collar, change the dress.” Women turned to interchangeable, detachable accessories to effortlessly update and refresh their existing wardrobes. This finely made collar showcases a stunning openwork grid pattern culminating in sharp, elegant front points, standing as a lovely example of both high-end domestic craftsmanship and creative resilience.
