This silk blend ribbon is made of 50% natural silk and 50% polyester. It retains some of the desirable qualities of silk – compared to fully polyester ribbons, it is lighter, softer, and has a more subtle, elegant sheen.
Thanks to the polyester content, the ribbon is also more durable, resilient, and more affordable.
Silk blend ribbons are perfect for embellishing garments and accessories, creating ribbon jewellery, small decorations, or wrapping luxurious gifts. They are well suited for historical costumes where full authenticity is not required, as well as for fantasy projects.
Due to their delicate nature, we do not recommend these ribbons for corset lacing.
Ribbon width is 5 mm.
Most of our fabrics are one-time offers that last until they are sold out. However, some more popular items are always restocked or can be ordered on request. As a rule, this applies to notions, where the selection is pretty consistent, but may also include some types of fabric. Look at the product's availability value – it shows whether the goods are available while supplies last, in the core inventory or in a seasonal collection.
The goods in the seasonal collection come directly from our verified manufacturers. We change up the colors on offer from season to season but fabric quality is always constant. For large (wholesale) orders, colors that have been sold out can be reordered individually.
No. We only accept retail orders through the e-shop. This eliminates situations where someone else orders the last of an item while your order is still sitting in our inbox or lies jotted on a bit of paper by the phone. By purchasing online, you are putting an immediate hold on the product. Of course, you can always call or write to us if you need help making your selection.
The estimated delivery date with your selected carrier can be seen before payment is made at checkout. It is calculated as the time for processing and packing your order plus the time it takes the selected carrier to deliver to a specific destination – this can be from 2 days for delivery within the Czech Republic to a week for delivery outside the EU. Expect longer delivery times during big sales and holidays.
Yes. We ship worldwide. The price of shipping is automatically calculated at checkout before payment after you select the country of delivery and the preferred carrier. If you do not find your country in the dropdown list, please contact us. You will find a rough overview of shipping costs in our shipping and payment terms.
