Product Overview
Broderie Anglaise (also known as Eyelet Lace) is a sophisticated openwork fabric characterized by intricate patterns of small holes or “eyelets” bound with reinforced stitching. Axisory manufactures high-quality Broderie Anglaise using advanced Schiffli embroidery machines, primarily on fine cotton, lawn, and poplin bases.
Unlike standard embroidery, Broderie Anglaise combines cutwork and needlework to create a breathable, textured aesthetic. It is a staple for RMG exporters targeting the spring/summer high-street fashion markets in Europe, the US, and Australia, where aesthetic elegance meets functional breathability.

Quality Control & Compliance Standards
The biggest challenge with Broderie Anglaise is maintaining the integrity of the cutwork during industrial washing. Axisory solves this through:
- Edge Reinforcement: Each eyelet is stitched with high-tenacity thread to ensure the holes do not expand or fray after repeated laundering.
- Shrinkage Management: We use pre-shrunk base fabrics to ensure the embroidery doesn’t “pull” or distort the garment’s fit (Target: <3% residual shrinkage).
- Color Fastness: Lab-tested for color migration, ensuring dyed-to-match (DTM) shades remain vibrant even on the reinforced edges.
- Compliance: Fully compliant with Oeko-Tex Standard 100, ensuring the fabric is free from harmful substances for skin-contact garments.
