The centuries old historic trade of passementerie is at risk of dying out in the U.K. There are only three individual makers and only a handful of companies still practising the skills and techniques of hand-making tassels, tiebacks and rosettes and hand-weaving trims. Professional cord making on a rope walk is particularly at risk as is some forms of woven braids.

Yes, it's that time again. The new 2026 tassel collection designed and hand-made by Jessica Light for Harrods has now launched. This beautiful couture-crafted collection of exclusive tassels are now in-store and online at Harrods.

You can now find Jessica Light's handmade unique tassel key fobs in the National Gallery shop and online.

For the 2025 Harrods Christmas tassel collection, Jessica has combined these two high-level craft disciplines to create a unique range of luxury tassels, all hand-made by herself.

Introducing Honiton, the new passementerie collection from JessicaLIght.

To mark the publication of her book, Passementerie', Jessica will be giving a demonstration at The Handweavers Gallery
