{"product_id":"mark-alexander-frisage","title":"Mark Alexander | Frisage","description":"\u003cp\u003eFrisage is a flat woven braid with a close, slightly raised face — the surface has a fine ribbed movement that catches a shadow rather than the light. Linen and wool together give it a dry hand and enough body to sit flat on a made-up edge without curling. It is a trimming that reads as part of the cloth rather than as applied decoration, which is exactly what we want on quiet work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe composition is 50 per cent linen, 41 per cent wool and 9 per cent polyester, supplied by the half metre. Three colourways: Cement, Jasper White and Natural. Each is a near-neutral, and the differences between them are small in isolation and obvious against a cloth, so hold all three against your fabric before deciding. The small polyester content is there for stability in making up, not for sheen.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe use Frisage as a border on a Roman blind, set in a little from the edge, and along the leading edges of curtains where it gives a defined line without a colour change. It also works as banding on a bed valance or the skirt of a chair. Pair it with a plain linen or a fine grasscloth wall. Order a sample to see it in your own light.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBeing a flat braid it can be hand-stitched or glued, and we would hand-stitch anything that will be handled or cleaned: a slip stitch along both edges keeps it from lifting. Mitre it at a corner rather than easing it, as a flat braid will not turn cleanly, and press the mitre before stitching. Measure the full run including returns and add a little for the mitres, which consume more than people expect.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComposition:\u003c\/strong\u003e 50% LI 41% WO 9% PL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSold by:\u003c\/strong\u003e Half metre\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSuitable for:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blind borders, curtain leading edges, valances, chair skirts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCare:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dry clean recommended\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCollection:\u003c\/strong\u003e Accent II, Mark Alexander\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColourways:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3 (Cement, Jasper White, Natural)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Mark Alexander","offers":[{"title":"Cement","offer_id":58067412648318,"sku":"MT115\/03","price":17.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Jasper White","offer_id":58067412681086,"sku":"MT115\/01","price":17.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Natural","offer_id":58067412713854,"sku":"MT115\/02","price":17.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sample - Cement","offer_id":58067412746622,"sku":"SAMPLE-MT115\/03","price":2.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sample - Jasper White","offer_id":58067412779390,"sku":"SAMPLE-MT115\/01","price":2.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sample - Natural","offer_id":58067412812158,"sku":"SAMPLE-MT115\/02","price":2.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/9880\/0766\/files\/MT115-03-frisage-cement_06.jpg?v=1789984192","url":"https:\/\/shop.tobiasoliverinteriors.com\/products\/mark-alexander-frisage","provider":"Tobias Oliver","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
