velvet ribbon

Plush fabric strip

Velvet ribbon is a narrow strip of velvet fabric used for trimming, decoration, or tying.

The soft, plush texture makes it popular for gift wrapping, hair accessories, and embellishing clothing: She tied her hair back with a black velvet ribbon.

Velvet ribbon appears frequently in period costume and formal wear, adding richness without bulk.
