PAILLETTES - SEQUINS

What Are Sequin and Paillette Fabrics? Light, Texture, and Glamour in Motion

Sequin fabrics are decorative textiles embellished with small reflective discs, known as sequins or paillettes, which are:

  • Stitched, heat-pressed, or embroidered onto a base fabric

  • Used to create patterned or all-over shimmering effects

  • Known for their ability to catch light and create movement

They’re widely used in:

  • Eveningwear and cocktail fashion

  • Bridalwear, stage costumes, and red-carpet looks

  • Dancewear, accessories, and occasionwear

Whether subtle sparkle or full dramatic impact, sequins bring theatricality and celebration to any garment.
