Point de Fée is the French translation of the Flemish word : toveressekant, meaning the finest of finest Binche laces, with a lot of tallies e.g.the Belfry in the Binche syllabus of AM Verbeke. Binche is the name of a Belgian French speaking city and gave its name to the very fine lace we know as binche or point de fée or toveressekant. It has certainly nothing to do with Mechlin lace, being the queen of laces, so called in a poem in the 18th century.
