Shop our range of grosgrain ribbons, recognised by their distinctive ribbed texture and structured finish. Versatile and easy to work with, grosgrain ribbon is a practical choice for bows, gift packaging, crafts, floristry and creative projects.
With its characteristic horizontal ribs, grosgrain offers a different look and feel to smooth ribbon styles. Its textured surface and structured appearance make it particularly useful when you want bows and decorative details to hold their shape while adding definition to the finished design.
What Makes Grosgrain Ribbon Different?
The defining feature of grosgrain ribbon is its ribbed surface. Fine horizontal ridges run across the ribbon, creating a textured appearance that distinguishes it from smoother styles such as satin ribbon.
This texture gives grosgrain a crisp, structured look that works particularly well for bows, loops and decorative details. It can be used as a subtle finishing element or incorporated more prominently into the overall design.
Grosgrain Ribbon for Bows
Grosgrain is a popular ribbon for bow making thanks to its structured feel and textured finish. It can be shaped into simple knots, classic bows, layered bows and other decorative details while maintaining a defined appearance.
Use grosgrain ribbon for bows on gifts, hampers, packaging, floral designs, accessories and craft projects. Different ribbon widths can also be layered together to introduce additional colour and dimension.
Grosgrain Ribbon for Crafts & Creative Projects
The combination of texture and structure makes grosgrain ribbon useful across a variety of craft applications. Use it for cardmaking, scrapbooking, DIY decorations, sewing projects, hair accessories and other handmade designs.
Grosgrain can also be combined with contrasting materials and ribbon styles to create layered designs with different textures.
Add Texture to Gifts & Packaging

Use a coordinating shade for a simple, cohesive presentation or introduce a contrasting colour to make the ribbon stand out. Its ribbed surface can add detail to otherwise minimal packaging without requiring elaborate decoration.
