Classic Grosgrain Ribbon (5/8-inch wide)  
While exploring the grosgrain market we discovered that there is stiff grosgrain &
pliable grosgrain.  Nothing is more difficult than trying to tie a bow with stiff
grosgrain!  We were able to find the MOST pliable, soft grosgrain in the industry!  It
is so easy to tie and make beautiful bows.  The satin-like finish that it has is just
pure bliss to look at and touch.  It will perform beautifully as borders around the
edges of tins and across the edge of cards. It's width is extravagant and luscious.
Topnotch Twill (3/8-inch wide)  
When we saw this twill tape for the first time, we knew it was like no other twill
tape we had seen.  It is tightly woven and almost has a silky-satin finish to it.  
Making it really elegant & classy.  It is much thinner than standard twill tapes and
therefore ties beautifully. It is stiff enough that it would perform well as a border
across the front of a card, with the ability to trim the edges and have no fraying.  
The detail of the weave is amazing, but it is flat enough that you could successfully
stamp on it as well.  The 3/8-inch width makes it a perfect addition to tags and
other small embellishments.  It is really sturdy, so it would hold up well to brads
and eyelets too.
Luxe Satin Ribbon (1/2-inch wide)  
This is the same single-faced satin used for the Swiss Dot ribbon (above), just
in a more narrow application.  This particular width is one of our personal
favorites to work with.  It is narrow enough to easily be added to a card or tag,
and it is wide enough to use on altered items & gift packaging without looking
under-scaled.  It has a beautifully bound edge that looks gorgeous on both the
front and back.  This is the best of the best when it comes to satin ribbon!
Swiss Dot Satin Ribbon (5/8-inch wide)  
We searched high and low to find THE best single faced satin in the industry.  And
we found it!  This satin is super smooth and has a luxurious pliability to it.  The
feel of the ribbon running through your hands as your tying it to your project is just
heavenly!  The sheen is understated and looks very rich & elegant.  The polka dots
are silk-screened with a wonderful white medium that binds nicely with the satin
itself.  The dots really become one with the ribbon rather than laying on top of the
surface.
Saddle Stitch Ribbon (5/8-inch wide)  
The white stitching of this ribbon is so classy.  It adds amazing detail to any
project.  Just like the grosgrain, the pliability & elegance of this ribbon is nothing
but first-class.  Both sides are finished beautifully so you can tie with ease. The
extravagant width is perfectly suited for a bold statement on a card or a wonderful
accessory for gifts & packaging.   You will fall in love the moment you see it in
person for the first time!
