This story on traditional handmade Polish lace caught my eye.

"Artisans who used to create gowns and altar cloths for customers such
as the late Pope now craft G-strings and other lingerie for sale all
over the world.
They say the underwear is quicker to make and easier to sell than
traditional goods such as tablecloths. "
I'm sorry to see the traditional demand is down, but glad to know they
can find a modern market rather than let the craft die.
