Velvet Cord Trim adds luxury and elegance to any garment. Velvet is a woven fabric that features a short, dense pile that's created from the cut threads of the fabric. Velvet is incredibly soft, has a luxurious appearance, and has often been associated with nobility. Originally, Cairo, Egypt was the world's largest producer of velvet, and it was commonly exported to Venice and then sent around the rest of Europe from there. Today, velvet can be made from a variety of synthetics, although it still gives off a feel of regalia. Velvet Cord Trim is perfect for lace-up detailing on a blouse or a luxurious looking necklace.
