Hand made Indian Braids and Ribbons.
In India, decorative braid is widely used to embellish garments for both men and women. From simple but decorative neck and sleeve edging to the dazzling embellishments of Saris. These braids will also beautify and enhance western clothing. T-Shirts, jackets, jeans, pants to skirts, hats, belts and bags, will all be lifted to something special and unique.

Decorative braids made in India, are embellished by hand stitching beads and sequins into a range of beautiful base ribbons. The braids and ribbons come in a range of widths, from a few millimeters to spectacular braids of 10 centimeters or more. They may be simple and plain, or spectacularly ornate and bright.

Uses for decorative braids:
Hand decorated braids are only limited by your imagination! Make a stunning belt or add a unique and beautiful embellishment to a hat or handbag. Make your own style and fashion statement by applying braid to just about any garment.

Stunning effects can also be created in a wide range of craft projects. Patchwork and quilt projects can be given a unique creative edge.
