It had an article about lace including lace wallpaper, but the thing that caught my eye was a tote bag made of raffia or straw with a border at the bottom of about four 3" squares of Irish crochet. There was also some crochet on the large fastener. What got my interest and astonishment was the price - $3,500. It was by Dolce & Gabanna <sp> Some people must have more money than sense but it was good to see lace on unusual items. Janice
