Marabou Trim - Black

Marabou Trim - Black is a soft, fluffy, and luxurious decorative trim made from marabou feathers. It's typically derived from turkeys rather than the actual marabou stork. It's known for its light, airy texture and cloud-like appearance, often used to add a touch of glamour, playfulness, or vintage elegance to garments and accessories. This trim is approximately 4mm wide.

Marabou trim is ideal for trimming fancy dress costumes, bags, garments and accessories. Colours may vary due to dyeing processes.

Sewing marabou trim can be a bit tricky due to its fluffy texture, but with the right approach, you can attach it neatly and securely. Hand sewing is recommended for precision, but it can also be done on a sewing machine using a zipper foot.

Common Uses:

• Fashion: Trim on lingerie, robes, cuffs, collars, or hem lines (especially in vintage-inspired or boudoir styles).
• Costumes: Adds flair to burlesque, theatrical, or fantasy outfits.
• Accessories: Embellishment for handbags, shoes, hats, or hairbands.
• Home Décor: Occasionally used in crafts or novelty home accessories for a whimsical touch.
