THE ART OF FILé

The Art of Filé consists of a type of lace embroidery woven manually on a net base. The first step of the process involves the preparation of this net or screen, with resistant thread sewn with a special needle called “jenipaprana”, which is a tree currently scarce in this region of Brazil. This needle is the same as the one used for making fishing nets, although smaller and thinner. The dimension of the mesh is defined by the mold, made of polished bamboo.
