Vintage French Circa 1950's ribbon
Vintage French Coquelicot red rayon ribbon is more finely woven than the wired acetate ombre ribbon we are used to. Ribbon is 2 inches in width, has a lovely shear quality and is perfect for ribbon flowers and bows. This is one of the ribbons I use for my ribbon roses. Sold by the yard.

Coquelicot or coquelico (KOHK-lee-koh) is the wild corn poppy, Papaver rhoeas, hence also the bright red color, tinted with orange of its flowers. In French, coquelicot is a vernacular name of this poppy. Claude Monet painted "Les Coquelicots" or "Poppies Blooming" in 1873.
