This flanged piping satin twist rope braid is a substantial, luxury trim designed to add weight, structure and visual impact to high-end sewing projects. While technically classified as a furnishing braid, its scale and construction make it exceptionally well suited to period costume replicas, theatrical garments and statement trims.

The trim features a 15mm diameter twisted rope, finished in a satin-style braid, securely attached to a 15mm wide flat flange. This gives a total width of approximately 30mm, allowing the flange to be neatly inserted into seams while the corded rope creates a bold, defined edge.

With its dense handle and traditional construction, this braid is ideal where a trim needs to hold its shape, add drape weight, or replicate the look of historical garments and interiors.

This is vintage stock, labelled “BT – a condo company”, adding to its character and appeal for heritage and reproduction work.
