Ribbon

1. GROSGRAIN

Grosgrain is thickly woven with lengthwise fibers, grosgrain provides a bit of elasticity, making it the perfect material for trimming and edging. It is widely available in a variety of colors and is relatively inexpensive.

2. JACQUARD

This durable ribbon was named after the 19th-century weaver Joseph Marie Jacquard. The ribbon is unique in that both sides exhibit the same pattern, just with inverse colors. Jacquard ribbon's high quality and attractive appearance make it ideal for decorative accents.

3. SATIN

what is Satin? First and foremost, it is not a raw material. Satin is a type of weave, constructed by floating several warp yarns across the weft before going under 1 weft thread, and beginning the cycle again. Having fewer interlaces leads to the smooth, lustrous surface we all know and love.

5. PRINT

In the modern world, technology has made it possible to print any word, pattern, or image imaginable on the surface of a ribbon. Printed ribbons appear quite similar to jacquard, but typically only have one patterned side. This is a less expensive alternative to luxe jacquard.
