The company has operated for more than 250 years 😞
A historic lace firm that made lace for Kate Middleton's wedding dress says its business is being crippled by new Brexit costs. Cluny Lace was founded 263 years ago in Ilkeston and has supplied lace to designer high-end clients like Gucci, Dolce and Gabbana and Burbery.
Mr Mason said: "We have spent more than 200 years building our business, fought for 30 years against the global textile trend of moving to the Far East and have now been killed off by our own side." The lace was used on her underskirt and on the train as well as on the underskirts, sleeves and necks of the bridesmaid dresses.
"But we thought these systems we were operating, with the Inward Processing Relief so we thought that we wouldn't be applied. But then we had a customs audit in January, and they basically said we'll have to pay that, it's on everything we do and also duty and it's backdated to January 2021. So I'm not happy. It's ruined our business."
