ribbons & trims


I've always wanted to visit VV Rouleaux and last time I was in London I did!
It's a shop full of the most beautiful ribbons, trims, tassels, laces and braids as well as beaded flowers and butterflies. Whenever I buy ribbon I struggle to find the right colour, but here you are surrounded by the most amazing hues.


'Rouleaux' is the French for the inner roll of a ribbon and 'V V' stands for very very good. 


Well, here are the ones I chose ...The cream one is meant to be used to trim furniture, but I think it would look lovely stitched onto a purse or corsage.
