Top Lace Trends 2025: From Zari Borders to Embroidered Ribbons
Every few years, fashion takes a full circle - what was once considered “classic” returns as the next big trend. In 2025, we’re witnessing a beautiful revival of one of India’s oldest design elements: lace.
From zari borders to embroidered ribbons, this year is all about celebrating craftsmanship with a modern twist. And leading this revival in Central India is none other than Balaji Lace Centre, Indore - a brand that has been weaving beauty into fashion for over two decades.
Lace is Back - And More Versatile Than Ever
Once reserved for bridal wear and festive outfits, lace has now entered every corner of fashion - from minimal kurtas to Indo-western jackets and even décor pieces.
Designers across Indore, Bhopal, and all of Madhya Pradesh are experimenting with lace as a statement detail that adds instant grace without overwhelming the design.
At Balaji Lace Centre, the collection reflects this shift perfectly - blending traditional Indian artistry with new-age aesthetics that appeal to both designers and young creators.
Trend 1: Zari Borders That Speak Royalty
Zari lace never really goes out of fashion - it just gets reinvented. The latest trend for 2025 is all about fine metallic zari work combined with subtle embroidery.
Gold and silver zari laces are being used not just on sarees and lehengas, but also on organza dupattas and festive crop tops.
Designer Tip: Pair antique gold zari borders with soft pastel fabrics for a sophisticated, heritage-inspired look.
At Balaji Lace Centre, their zari collection offers everything from traditional gota patterns to modern scalloped metallic edges - perfect for contemporary Indian fashion.
Trend 2: Colourful Embroidered Ribbons
If you think lace must always be delicate, think again. 2025 brings in bold, vibrant embroidered ribbons with multicolour threadwork and mirror accents. These are perfect for adding drama to everyday outfits or fusion wear.
Designer Tip: Use wide embroidered ribbons as waist belts or dupatta trims to add an unexpected pop of colour.
Balaji Lace Centre’s embroidered ribbon collection is handcrafted to match both festive and modern palettes - making it a designer’s dream material.
Trend 3: Minimalist Cotton and Cutwork Lace
Not every trend is about shimmer and shine. One of my favourite directions for 2025 is the rise of minimal cotton and cutwork lace - simple, airy, and elegant.
Perfect for summer kurtas, blouses, and home décor, these designs are gaining popularity for their natural charm and sustainability.
Balaji Lace Centre’s cutwork and tone-to-tone lace collection captures this understated beauty while maintaining durability and softness.
Trend 4: Tassels and Trims for Playful Accents
Designers are embracing tassels and lace trims as fun finishing touches. They’re being used creatively on sleeves, dupattas, stoles, and even accessories like handbags or potlis.
Balaji Lace Centre’s tassel range brings together traditional beadwork with colourful threads - a perfect mix for festive styling in Madhya Pradesh’s vibrant fashion scene.
Where Indore Finds Its Inspiration
In Indore, a city that thrives on textile artistry, Balaji Lace Centre has become a hub for designers and boutique owners who believe in quality and originality.
With over 25 years of experience and a loyal base of 25,000+ happy customers, the brand has grown from a local favourite to a trusted lace supplier across India.
Their collection reflects both Indore’s cultural richness and India’s evolving fashion tastes - a rare combination that sets them apart.
Looking Ahead: The Future of Lace in Indian Fashion
As we move into a more creative and handcrafted era, lace will continue to play an essential role in defining fashion. From bridal couture to resort wear, and from designer collections to small-batch artisans - everyone is rediscovering the magic of lace.
And with visionaries like Balaji Lace Centre, Indore will remain at the forefront of this transformation - proving that the finest details often create the most lasting impressions.
