SKAY, SKAYA, SKAYE
Skay, sometimes referred to as eco-leather, is a material that imitates natural leather. It is a fabric whose surface resembles, among others, animal skin. It is used in leather goods, and in the production of clothing and furniture.
In our offer you will find pre-folded bias bindings made from this material, which are perfect for straps, drawstrings and corset lacing. Bias binding is an inseparable element of every garment. Its task is to emphasise its unique character and give it an unmistakable style.
What exactly is bias binding? It is simply a ribbon or a piece, a scrap of material intended for finishing the edges of fabric. This is to prevent it from stretching and fraying. Skay is a material that gives a luxurious and elegant impression, and garments finished with it will be perceived the same way. It is also perfect for corsets, it can successfully be used as a finishing and decorative element in jackets, blazers, dresses, blouses, e.g. for finishing the neckline. It is also used in handicraft products, for example in the production of bags or notebooks.
Although an experienced seamstress would be able to create such a trimming by hand, it is worth relying on ready-made solutions. We offer high-quality faux leathers, at affordable prices. The trimmings come in several universal widths, so they can be used for many different purposes. Sewing on the binding itself can be quite tricky and requires some practice, but the result will certainly be stunning.
