There is a group of lacemakers in Sri Lanka who make *very nice* lace to sell. The prices are most reasonable, better than one of us (speaking for myself anyway) would even think of selling, as a hobby lacemaker. There are individuals in the UK and Europe who help promote these laces; the lacemakers are from disadvantaged situations, and this setup is a win-win solution. The laces I have seen look identical in a given pattern. I do not know who they are exactly, nor who to contact, but that is what I would look for. Perhaps someone else on the list has a contact name for this group in the UK.
