not vintage but still cool

Europa Imports Metallic Ribbon - Charlia We rarely sell non-vintage items...but I'll make an exception for this gorgeous metallic ribbon. It was manufactured by the now-defunct Europa Imports and is now very hard to find. This ribbon features a rich design in white & red on black with gold metallic threads. The little red flowers in the center shine, surrounded by gold, and flanked by a white, red & gold border. Fantastic for making doll dresses, or period costumes. Europa identified this as style R0426, Color No. B. The fabric content is 50% rayon, 30% polyester, and 20% metallic. It is 1" inch wide and colorfast. We have 8 yards available, at $4/yard.
