Fleco Metálico

El ribete de flecos metálicos es el acento perfecto para cualquier conjunto, pero los flecos no empezaron siendo un ribete. Originalmente, los flecos se utilizaban para evitar que una pieza de tela se deshilachara cuando no estaba dobladillada. Para crear los flecos, se eliminaban varios hilos de la trama y los hilos de la urdimbre se retorcían o trenzaban juntos. Hoy en día, los flecos se fabrican por separado de la prenda y se cosen posteriormente. Desde la creación de impresionantes vestidos con flecos hasta la adición de un toque de estilo a las cortinas, el ribete de flecos metálicos es el complemento perfecto para cualquier proyecto.
