Burgundy runs darker and calmer than dark red, carrying a slight brown note. It reads less festive, more grown-up instead.
It is woven in satin: on the face, yarn floats long across the surface, making it smooth and lustrous, while the back stays matt. 100 % polyester, 6 mm wide, available from 0.2 metres. Care symbols rule out washing, ironing, bleach, tumble drying — so use it where things stay dry. Roll leftovers rather than folding them; a fold leaves crease lines that hardly settle again without pressing.
What Satinband 6mm Bordeaux is suitable for
- Autumnal decoration, because this shade suits berry tones.
- Edges on dark fabrics, because burgundy adds depth there.
- Pairings with dusky pink, because they are related.
Frequently asked questions
Does this ribbon fray when cut?
A cut edge can work loose. Hold that end briefly to a flame, so it seals cleanly. On natural fibres use a narrow fold or a zigzag stitch across the edge instead.
Does it come creased off the roll?
Off a roll you may find slight creases. Draw your ribbon once across a table edge, or let it hang a while, so it settles flat. Care symbols say you should not press it.
Can I glue this instead of sewing?
On paper or card, craft glue holds well. On fabric, textile glue is a better choice because it stays flexible. Over time, though, only a seam holds reliably through laundering.
How should I store leftovers?
Rolled rather than folded, so no crease lines remain. An empty thread spool or a clothes peg makes a fine holder. Stored in the dark, colours stay fresh longer.
