It is perfect for a luxe event and for the elegant, formal bride.


Crinkle Silk

Tussar Silk

Our most unique ribbon. Tussar Silk has quite a rough feel, but also has a lovely soft lustre and a beautiful soft frayed edge. It drapes well and is light, yet highly textured. This is perfect for the adventurous, avant-garde bride - never afraid to try something new.


Gossamer Silk

Our lightest ribbon. Gossamer Silk is an incredibly light, delicate, translucent ribbon. It’s beautiful sheer nature makes it ethereal and effortless. It has a slight crepe texture to it.
