Passementerie: Woven and Non Woven Techniques for Making Trims and Tassels

Passementerie is the most comprehensive book ever written on the skills of this endangered heritage craft. Written by London’s last working passementier, it explains the woven and non-woven techniques that make stunning trims and tassels for rooms and outfits. This is truly a book to be enjoyed by all designers - textile, interior, fashion and costume - and to appreciate the skills of this beautiful craft.

Jessica Light’s colourful trims and tassels have adorned the worlds of fashion and interiors, from fringing the balcony drape at Buckingham Palace to macramé belts for Vivienne Westwood. Jessica creates bold, contemporary and design-led passementerie from her East London workshop.
