Today, ApparelX Global introduces SHINDO, a major Japanese ribbon company. (In Japanese, a major company refers to a large company with a certain level of recognition and scale.)
October in Tokyo already feels a bit like the start of winter. Walking into the online shops of major brands, winter items are selling briskly. As an essential trim for winter clothing, I would like to introduce SHINDO’s autumn/winter ribbon series.
SHINDO’s products are recommended not only for this year, but also for next autumn and winter. Let’s take a closer look at SHINDO’s products together~
This single-sided velvet ribbon has rich, deep colors and is perfect for autumn/winter color coordination.
It has slightly longer pile and a soft, smooth surface. Sizes range from 6 mm to 48 mm, making it suitable for a wide variety of uses, from small accessories to dresses.
This tape series comes in 75 colors, has a very soft texture, and is stretchable, with slightly shorter pile.
You should be able to find a color that matches your fabric.
The same series, SIC-EB012 ribbon, has no elasticity.
SIC-108 single-sided velveteen ribbon comes in 32 colors, and SIC-109 double-sided velveteen ribbon comes in 20 colors; the pile is slightly shorter than that of velvet ribbon.
Depending on the angle of light, the sheen and color it presents will differ, giving it a luxurious feel.
The surface has been fuzzy-finished, giving it a peach-skin texture.
It also has a leathery look and is very well suited to autumn and winter. The colors include deep Bordeaux, smoky pink, earth tones, and other fashionable shades.
100% wool ribbon, featuring the warm texture and smooth feel unique to wool. The soft colors created by the woodgrain tones pair beautifully with knit fabrics.
Velveteen is generally woven with two layers of fabric together, using two warps and two wefts. During weaving, one pile rod (thin wire) is inserted after every four pile yarns, and after weaving to a certain length (about 20 cm), the fabric is cut along the wire with a blade on the machine. Once the pile rod is removed, the pile is formed. Simply put, in velveteen-like fabrics, the warp or weft is not laid flat but raised to form pile. The pile is generally formed by loops (for example, if the warp yarn between two weft yarns is not straightened but allowed to arch upward, it forms a loop). These loops are often cut to form two broken pile ends (as explained in Guokr Q&A, which is really easy to understand).
Velvet is a traditional autumn/winter fashion fabric. It is a type of velveteen fabric, also called warp velveteen. As the name suggests, the pile is formed with warp yarns, and after the pile is cut, it becomes two smooth single-layer warp velveteen fabrics. As shown below:
Originally, velvet was mainly made from silk and was used by royalty in ancient China. It flourished most during the Ming and Qing dynasties. Today, velvet products made from materials such as rayon are also very popular.
This fabric is pile-raised by weft yarns and is woven with one set of warp yarns and two sets of weft yarns (ground weft and pile weft), similar to corduroy. The ground structure is mostly plain weave, though twill is also used. Weft velveteen is mainly used for clothing and decoration.
In Japanese, weft velveteen is called “bechirin,” expressing the idea that its texture is especially rare and precious.
Because weft velveteen was originally mostly made from cotton, it is also called cotton velvet, and today many weft velveteen fabrics are made using synthetic fibers as the raw material.
