Filet is an embroidered textile created on a regular mesh of interlaced threads, on which decorative patterns are built through patient handwork. The structure is light yet durable, with designs emerging from the weave through the contrast between filled and open spaces. It is made mainly with natural cotton threads, worked using traditional techniques that require precision and continuity of movement. Each piece shows slight variations, a direct sign of its handcrafted production. It can take the form of doilies, borders, small cloths, or decorative elements intended for domestic use.
