Through the case of the bobbin lace artisans from Apiques community, at Maceió settlement, in the Itapipoca municipality, Ceará State, this study aims to describe the social profile and analyze the economic aspects of bobbin lace handcraft made by rural women. In a quantitative approach, primary data were collected by performing questionnaires and pre-designed interviews during origin experiences with the bobbin lace artisans to achieve the proposed objectives of this study. In their daily, the craftswomen perform household chores, agricultural work and bobbin lace, that is performed in two ways: individually and collective group of women lace makers. Despite lower annual earnings, this economic activity demonstrates economic profitability, producing profitability for craftswomen that develop this work. The bobbin lace retains characteristics of its origin, as women sit to the pad to produce each piece by hand. Therefore, with the spread of the local identity, emerges a new economic thinking about this activity, taking into consideration the cultural richness basis on the sites in Brazil.
