In the seventeenth century, an increased enthusiasm and demand gave way to a manufacturing boom in Coventry England and Lyons France became ribbon-making headquarters of the day.

Ribbon had invaded the world of fashion and clothing design. During this period, it was equally popular for both men’s and women’s clothing. Every clothing item, from bonnets to shoes were enhanced and adorned with ribbon.

Ribbon became a popular gift, which the recipient could use to accessorize furnishings, lines or secure hairstyles with braids and curls.
