The Good Stuff
Ribbon variety
Ribbons are available in many varieties, making the shop useful for clothing, craft and client orders.
Yarn choices
Crochet shoppers describe a large range of yarn and wool options, with plenty to choose from.
Rhinestone range
The shop carries acrylic, glass and crystal rhinestones, with staff helping customers choose suitable embellishments.
Sewing supplies
Reviews specifically mention threads, beads, buttons, DMC floss and Aida fabric for sewing and embroidery projects.
Helpful staff
Several customers found the staff friendly and helpful, including one online order delivered within two hours.
Bulk deals
One review says prices are decent and suggests larger orders may be more suitable for negotiating.
Tips for a Better Visit
Bring a list. Take a materials list: the huge range of sequins, embroidery thread and tassels can otherwise feel overwhelming.
Arrive early. For parking directly in front of the shop, one reviewer recommends visiting on Sunday before 9 am.
Compare prices. Check nearby shops before buying expensive craft items; one customer found identical products cheaper on the same street.
Negotiate bulk. If you are buying a larger quantity, ask whether a deal is possible; reviews suggest bulk orders have more negotiating room.
Check receipt fees. Ask about the receipt and any associated VAT charge before paying, as one review reported an extra charge for a paper receipt.

The Bottom Line
RIBBONS TRADING LLC is a compact but densely stocked shop for sewing, tailoring, embroidery, crochet and costume-making supplies. It is worth considering when you need to browse rather than settle for one basic option: reviews mention many ribbon varieties, a large yarn selection, DMC floss threads and Aida fabric, plus beads, buttons and other sewing essentials. The rhinestone section is a useful detail for garment decoration.
One customer found acrylic, glass and crystal rhinestones and received help choosing the most suitable option. Crochet shoppers also found wool and basic crochet tools, while another review calls it a dependable source for costume-design materials. Online ordering is mentioned too, with one customer reporting delivery within two hours.
Expect a small space with a lot to look through, so taking a materials list should make the visit easier. Parking is a recurring concern; one reviewer recommends Sunday before 9 am for a spot directly in front. Prices are described both as reasonable and as high compared with nearby shops, so compare where practical.
For larger quantities, ask about negotiating. Service feedback is mostly friendly, but a few reviews describe dismissive or arrogant behaviour, so customer experience may vary.
