16mm No.3 "Venus" Vintage Swiss Lacy-Satin Ribbon - 16m Roll
My oh my! These superb, practically museum quality ribbons date to the 1940/50s, maybe even before, and were made in Switzerland - the home of amazing quality trims!
Made from a blend of artificial silk (rayon) and cotton, this stunning lacy edged single sided satin ribbon is light and floaty and has a super glossy finish. Use it to make the most amazing lush hat trims; we're thinking teeny bows or trimming around the crown of a hat.
Ribbon measures 15-17mm wide and is sold by the whole roll which measures 16.4m (18 yards). Some rolls can vary ever so slightly in width by 1-2mm.
The roll states this ribbon is No.5, but we would say it's closest to a No.3 size.
There may be a few minor imperfections in the roll which has been reflected in the price. Due to its age, you may find some slight colour fading on the outer layer, or some slight colour variations from roll to roll.
