This wide dupioni ribbon is absolutely stunning! It has a subtle metallic sheen/luster that no image can possibly capture. It has a great weight (substantial, but not heavy) and the wiring means your beautiful loops and bows retain their shape effortlessly. I couldn't be more pleased! Bobbi is the absolute best. I can always count on excellent and varied selection choices of high quality designer ribbons, as well as truly outstanding customer service from Perpetual Ribbons.
