Ribbon 101: Ribbon Accessories

A good friend of ours says there are two different types of MIDORI Ribbon. First, there are the elegant "black dress" Ribbon styles. Double-Faced Satin, Organdy, Dupioni Silk, and Luxe are examples of "black dress" Ribbon.


Just like putting on a black dress, wrapping MIDORI Ribbon around a gift adds creativity, love, care, and a fashionable air. a"Black dress" Ribbon is a statement in itself.


Beautiful, eye-catching, and classy, "black dress" ribbon is amazing on its own. But, add a Cartier necklace or Tiffinay's earrings to that dress, and the whole look is transformed! An already beautiful look is given a heightened sense of style, design, and care simply by adding what we have come to call an "accessory" Ribbon. A designer's touch; the statement of an artist...


Custom Tidings, Icon and Tidings, Doppio, Rayon Trim, and Garland are examples of "accesory" Ribbon styles.




Would you call a Cartier necklace trivial because it is an accessory? Not likely. A high quality, well planned accessory is as important to an outfit as the foundation (the black dress). Ribbon fits this analogy perfectly, as each style, color, width, and pattern used can transform and add value to a gift, project, or product.

Celebrating 20 years: We are grateful

Below is a short, meaningful article from our January, 2009 Newsletter We wanted to share this article with you as it speaks clearly and honestly about how we feel about our celebrating our 20th anniversary this year.

Enjoy!

It was twenty years ago today...

Looking back on the last twenty years, we’ve been feeling many things: surprised, delighted, and fortunate. Less than half of new businesses in the United States last beyond their first year. Very few make it to five years. This is a wonderful country, where it is easy to pursue one’s dreams, but it is also easy to fail. So when we think about starting out on a kitchen table in a little cottage in 1989 and winding up in our present offices twenty years later, the word which probably best expresses how we feel is: grateful. We are grateful.

Grateful to offer the best there is, with no excuses.

Grateful to work with people we respect.

Grateful to work with skilled artisans whose work we admire and treasure.

And most of all, grateful to have discerning, creative customers who appreciate what we do, who demand the best, and who test our imaginative and executive skills every day. Twenty years on, we are still here because of you. And for that, we are grateful.
