THE FRENCH RIBBON First Edition Reference Book Printed in Italy 2014

FIRST EDITION volume of THE FRENCH RIBBON is a visually extraordinary archival reference documenting historic French ribbon production, colorways, trims, and textile techniques. The photography is so detailed and dimensional it often appears as though the ribbons themselves are mounted on the page. Produced following the closure of one of France’s oldest textile regions in Saint-Étienne, over 500 archival ribbon samples were photographed and preserved to create this definitive work. Printed and bound in Italy, this first edition is both an academic reference and a collectible object.
