Enjoying an enduring legacy, trimmings or passementerie – as the French call it, have always been in trend allowing one to express themselves. Decorative interior trimmings took off in a big way during the reign of King Louis XIV in 17th century France and have been in high demand since with designs becoming increasingly imaginative and flamboyant. These eye-catching and whimsical decorative accents seamlessly add a luxe feel to furnishings and are undeniably “the icing on the interiors cake”.

Elevating a space, trimmings takes one’s interiors to a whole new level transforming it from the ordinary to the extraordinary. Like they say – it’s all in the details. “In my opinion, trimmings accentuate textiles very easily and the best part is that you can create your own combination of fabrics and trims without worrying about anyone else having the same look. For me, selecting an ideal trim for your space depends on the language of your space. If you want subtle or stark detailing you can enhance any look by adding a simple trim. Trimmings are also very easy to maintain with vacuum cleaning being the best option” says Kanwar.

With a more layered approach to décor which embodies a lot of personality and eclectic finishing touches – trimmings adorn curtains, cushions, furniture and more adding a fanciful layer of eye-catching depth and whimsy that feels tailored to an individual.

These must-have decorative interior trimmings are either sewn or looped onto soft furnishings. Manufacturing of trims includes laser cut to computer embroidery machines and much more. Depending on the technique each process is different. “Our hand embroidery borders are hand made by our artisans in the factory. Our collections are made with diverse materials such as – silk, suede, canvas with unique techniques such as – hand painting, hand and computer embroidery, multimedia printing, laser cut technique and so on. Every collection talks about the essence of deep generational experience and how the brand’s dedication to the design trade has been unparalleled” adds Kanwar.
