This traditional grosgrain ribbon is woven in France on wooden shuttle looms, ensuring an authentic structure and superior fibre suppleness. Its 100% cotton composition and 35 mm width make it ideal for fine millinery and tailoring work requiring a matte and stable finish. This premium product allows precise handling without altering the fibre during assembly stages.
Usage recommendations
This ribbon is specifically designed to be worked with an iron to follow the curves of headband openings or hat brims. Due to its pure cotton structure, it is essential to carry out a thorough steam shrinking before any cutting or fitting in order to stabilise the natural shrinkage of the fibre. Its suppleness allows the creation of complex milliner's knots (flat knot, French knot) with a clean drape and lasting hold.
