in passementerie accroutrements.
Passementerie was first established in the 16th century, and this type of fabric embellishment was reserved for the upper-class. It has waxed and waned in popularity since then, and indeed it is almost a lost art, but the 21st century is showing a revitalization of the craft. This rosette is a CLASSIC passementerie shape, and the gold thread is also true to history, but the overall pattern actually looks quite new and modern, wouldn't you say? Timeless, indeed!
