21AW Introduction to the ribbons and tapes of SHINDO RIBBON, a major ribbon maker

Share this blog post

Today, ApparelX Global introduces a major Japanese ribbon company: SHINDO. (In Japanese, a major company refers to a large company with a certain level of recognition and scale.)

Tokyo in October is already starting to feel like winter is approaching, and when you visit the online stores of major brands, winter items are selling strongly. As an essential accessory for winter apparel, I would like to introduce SHINDO’s fall and winter ribbon series.

SHINDO’s products are not only recommended this year, but also worth recommending for next autumn and winter. Let’s take a look at SHINDO’s products together below~

REF-8600 single-sided velvet ribbon

The single-sided velvet ribbon comes in rich, deep colors, making it very suitable for fall and winter color palettes.

The pile is slightly longer, and the surface is soft and smooth. Sizes range from 6 mm to 48 mm, and it can be used for a variety of applications, from small accessories to dresses.





SIC-EB013 elastic woven tape

This series of woven tape comes in 75 colors. It has a very soft texture, is stretchy, and has a slightly shorter pile.

You should be able to find a color that matches your fabric. The SIC-EB012 ribbon in the same series is not stretchy.



SIC-108 single-sided velveteen ribbon SIC-109 double-sided velveteen ribbon

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 the light, the luster and color appear differently, giving it a premium feel.




SIC-109 double-sided velveteen ribbon



SIC-176 premium-textured double-sided ribbon

The surface has been brushed, giving it a peach-skin texture.

It also has a leather-like appearance, and the texture is very suitable for the fall and winter season. The colors include dark Bordeaux, smoky pink, earth tones, and other fashionable shades.




SIC-289 woodgrain-textured herringbone wool tape

100% wool ribbon, featuring the warm texture and smooth feel unique to wool. The gentle colors created by the woodgrain tone pair perfectly with knit fabrics.




What is the difference between velvet and velveteen?

Pile

Velveteen is generally woven by weaving two layers of fabric together, using two warps and two wefts. During weaving, after every four pile yarns are woven in, a pile rod (a thin wire) is inserted. When a certain length is reached (about 20 cm), the wire is cut with a blade on the machine, and when the pile rod is separated from the fabric, the pile is formed. Simply put, in velveteen-type fabrics, the warp or weft does not lie flat; instead, it rises up to form pile. The pile is generally formed from loops (for example, if the warp yarn between two weft yarns is not pulled straight but allowed to arch upward, it forms a loop), and these loops are often cut to form two broken pile ends (a reference from Guokr Q&A; it really is very easy to understand).

Velvet

Velvet is a traditional autumn and winter fashion fabric. It is a type of velveteen fabric, also called warp velveteen. As the name suggests, the pile is formed with warp yarn, and after cut pile processing, it becomes two smooth, single-layer pieces of warp velveteen. As shown below:

Originally, velvet was mainly made of 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.

Velveteen

It is a weft-pile fabric, woven from one set of warp yarns and two sets of weft yarns (ground weft and pile weft), similar to corduroy. The ground weave is mostly plain weave, though twill is also used. Weft velveteen is mainly used for apparel and decoration.

In Japanese, weft velveteen is called "bettchin," expressing the meaning that the texture of weft velveteen is especially rare and precious.

Because weft velveteen was originally mostly made from cotton, it is also called cotton velveteen. As it has developed, many weft velveteens are now made from synthetic fibers.
