TRIMMINGS
Embellish | Enrich | Finish | Decorate
An ancient art that has evolved over time accompanying cultural, social and political human evolution, trimmings encompass all those techniques of weaving and processing of fabric and yarns aimed at enriching, embellishing, finishing, adorning, completing and refining clothes, clothing, upholstery and furniture. A complex art that involves many sectors starting from everyday outfits and finishing with the creations of high fashion designers. MANIFATTURA MODENESE is an artisan company that has dedicated itself to this very particular and precious artistic expression.
The interweaving and combination of threads, colours, materials, shapes and patterns gives life to small sophisticated and refined crafts. The skilful use of short and long fringes, tassels, sequins, feathers, pearls, stones, pom-pons, flowers, profiles and edges can make a garment truly interesting, complete and intriguing. At our company you will be able to create elements of design trimmings, for third parties, in small and large quantities, with the option of also being able to use, as you wish, threads not supplied directly by us. Please contact us for information, clarifications on production, special requests and quotes. You can find a small “taste” of our trimmings by exploring the online catalogue.
Our products
FRINGES
Fun, stimulating and extremely cool: fringes have conquered the catwalks of many designers, enhancing garments of all kinds. A trend rediscovered from a compelling story with origins in the far west, references to the hippie world of the 1960s and taken up by the great exponents of fashion today. Short and long fringes, decorated with beads or other elements, have characterised the summer and winter clothing of recent years.
CHANEL EDGES
Timeless elegance and freedom of movement for the garment essential for women’s wardrobes: the Chanel jacket. What gives them character, embellishes them, what creates that subtlety and all-feminine exquisiteness is the edge that encapsulates the shapes of the jacket, defines its contours and highlights the curves of a woman, enhancing them and not concealing them. A delicate and graceful profile that is still today popular with stylists and major fashion houses.
CORDS
The winding of the thread on itself creates practical trimmings, useful but also of considerable decorative value. In this way small and large cords were conceived. Suitable to tie, to tighten but also to adorn stitches, clothes, accessories, footwear and often furnishing elements. Embellished with coloured or monocolour threads, in a wide variety of shapes, weaves and motifs, the cords remain essential elements of trimmings on many occasions.
TASSELS
Small and large tassels can be lively and sparkling, authoritative and severe on the basis of the design and the project that the designer has decided to create. Elements of great value in ancient times, they decorated the clothes and accessories of holders of titles and noble ranks. They are rediscovered today in a wide variety of colours, sizes and shapes to create effects of movement, liveliness and effervescence in the outfits of many generations.
POM-PONS
Playful soft balls, wonderful expressions of softness: pom-pons have invaded the catwalks of recent times. Rediscovered in a wide variety of dimensions and in the most unlikely of colours, they decorate and enrich the summer and winter clothing of many wardrobes with joy and lightness. They are also used individually with materials and further trimming applications for a real jewel effect!
BRAIDING
The classic braid motif is used in trimmings in many variations. From the simple braided cotton cord to the complex braids finely worked and enriched with details, MANIFATTURA MODENESE can create them for you as close to your expectations as possible, creating the braids that best suit your projects. Numerous colours, patterns and materials are at your disposal to be combined as you require.
PROFILES
Our trimming solutions cover the widest expectations of whoever designs a garment. They complete the garment, refine the fabric, finish it and define it, giving it character, temperament and personality. From the most sober and contained edges to the most voluminous frills in tulle or chiffon: there are an infinite number of profiles that can be applied to a garment. Sequins, beads, rhinestones, studs and much more can be perfectly integrated into edges and profiles.
GIROTTO
The delicate interweaving of the yarn in the creation of strips and edges for garments creates precious and refined finishes: the girotti. Available in multiple shapes, designs, colours and materials, they can represent the key element of the refinement of a garment. Suitable to finish the lower or upper edges, to define cuffs and collars, they are a good alternative to the classic profiles.
FLOWERS
A delicate jewel effect, a cascade, a finely embroidered or broderie anglaise edge: flowers remain a natural figure of inestimable beauty and are therefore chosen as an icon of many trimming applications. MANIFATTURA MODENESE has created flowers: perforated edges, embroideries on lace and in relief, but also pendants in succession and single pendants finely crafted by expert hands and often enriched with feathers, beads and much more.
FUR STITCH
The resolute and soft effect of fur created by the precision of the intertwining of yarns in identical holes in succession. The fur stitch represents a decorative technique for garments and clothing but in creative sewing and crochet creations to create a succession of extremely precise decorative bows that overall gives volume, softness and smoothness.
