A thrilling new departure for No.9 is this embroidered tape. Inspired by a typical border from Tibetan rugs used to depict both clouds and waves, the design is rendered in glossy viscose yarns on a matt cotton ground.
Exactly matched both in colour and scale to the fabric of the same name, they would work beautifully in the same room used as a different application - for example a smart trim edging plain curtains in front of a roman blind made from the embroidered fabric.
The narrower of the two borders again reinterprets a traditional carpet border and echoes the print design "Tibetan Maze". Perfect for edging curtains, furniture or accessories both tapes brings a new and contemporary edge to the collection as a whole.
Clever shading of the two colours of embroidery gives a truly three dimensional effect - its both classical and fun, and adds a very chic punctuation to both plain and patterned fabrics.
Dense embroidery arranged in staggered stripes is reminiscent of a musical score - it adds dimension and a strong graphic note when placed along the leading edge of soft furnishings.
Whimsical, arty, edgy - JAMMING ticks all the boxes for a fun and stylish addition to a scheme. Its random pattern of graffiti-like markings are brought to life in this multi coloured embroidered tape.
A Greek key design is given a fresh and casual appeal by the woven rope-like texture. It’s updated appeal is further enhanced by the unexpected colour combinations.
The only block printed tape in the collection, with all the imperfections and character of this hand-made technique, RIFF is also the narrowest. Available in 8 colourways it is endlessly versatile.
Three stripes of embroidery are arranged in a beguiling, optical pattern that makes for a stunning three dimensional effect - the perfect way to add interest and to pull a colour scheme together in a room.
A graphic three colour stripe that gives a bold swagger to cushions, curtains and tablecloths. The colour combinations can either coordinate or contrast with the entire no9 outdoor collection.
A pretty, open design that could look wonderful as a contrast to a more organic and colourful print from the collection.
This lozenge motif is often found in Greek folk embroidery, and the woven construction of this tape emulates the technique well. The final look is surprisingly contemporary.
Composed of intertwining lines of heavy stitching, this is the most complex of the designs. All four colourways are on a natural linen which gives a rich look.
Coordinating with the colour palette for the entire trim collection is this stylish tie back. It is available in several useful neutral colours as well as a stunning black and white, an emerald green and rich navy. It adds a smart and tailored finishing touch to any room.
A fine labyrinth inspired design that would work in a more contemporary space, perhaps on one of our plains.
This new woven trim comes in four colourways which make a striking punctuation mark on curtains and on furniture - it’s jacquard structure makes it sturdy enough for upholstery. Using trims such as these is also a good way to introduce an unexpected colour into any room.

Using the Tweeded Braid as a support for yarn wrapped wooden beads and coloured glass beads, this trim offers a subtly glamorous addition to any scheme. Best used on the leading edge of curtains or the base of lampshades where light will penetrate the beads, bringing the whole composition to life.
An embroidered border that works beautifully with Queen Bee fabric but equally to trim a solid coloured texture. The ground is an elegant ottoman weave which adds to the tailored feel and the four colourways echo the colours of the Dragon Dance wallpaper. The name reflects its honeycomb pattern.
With a similar feel to the ruche braid, this thin stylish braid co bones yarns of different texture and colour to create a subtle tweed effect. It can be used around furniture but looks particularly well when combined with the beaded fringe.
I love these cords best when they are used as a contrast on a piece of furniture - see how the scarlet 5mm cord brings to life the sectional sofa in our brochure. Any colourway of the micro cord would look equally well piping a loose cover in a natural shade as a stylish highlight.
MEKNES is inspired by the zelig tile borders of North Africa. Large scale interlocking shapes are embroidered in a combination of singing colours.
