Raffit Ribbons was founded in 1989 in New York City by two sisters, Michele & Brandy Faskowitz, who were creating elegant gifts, but found elegant, easy to tie & affordable ribbon hard to find. They produced the first raffia ribbons in vibrant colors and showed designers how to create beautiful presentations with great ease. The packaging was simply a vintage spool, logo & label of sepia on crème.

Seven years later Michele married Eliot Raffít (it was a sign) who expanded the collection to include fine ribbons & trims, twines & cords, feathers & furs all wound on their trademark vintage spools. Inspired by the runways of fashion, careful consideration for each new addition includes selecting the finest materials, textures, styles & colors.

The ribbons and trims are used for gift packaging, floral, fashion, crafts & home décor. Raffit Ribbons’ offerings now include the finest silks, satins, velvets & taffetas fit to dress royalty & inspire the royal spirit.
