Passementerie,
Trims and Tapes

Passementerie is the trade's word for the braids, tapes and trims that finish a room. Ours are drawn in London alongside the fabrics and wallcoverings they were made to edge.

The collection runs from Elizabeth Tape and Sizzle Tape to Mademoiselle and its quieter sister, Mini Mademoiselle. Each is designed to edge draperies, headboards, cushions and upholstery, and to sit with a Vale pattern rather than compete with it.

Fabric Trim and Braid from a London Design House

A fabric trim is the detail that tells you a room was considered rather than assembled. Each is made using time-honoured techniques, including die-cut lace, hand-embroidery and meticulous beading.

See the trimmings in person at our London showroom in the Design Centre, Chelsea Harbour, or at West Palm Beach.
