The fuzzy fringing with striped edges gives a very interesting finish to the plain grey side of this cape and picks up the bold stripes on the other side. The fleecy quality of the fabric means it doesn’t fray. Fringing has been popular throughout the world, often used on non-fraying fabrics such as leather or suede garments. Native American dress is one example of how effective this decoration can be on simple shapes.

Fringing was originally a decorative way of knotting unfinished lengths of fabric so they didn’t fray. In this case the fringing is purely decorative, as it has been sewn onto the silk shawl. It will also add weight so it hangs nicely and when worn will ripple when the wearer moves.
