Trimmings and Accessories:
Trimmings are the materials which directly piece together with your clothing products.
Trimmings have both functional and aesthetic properties. So you can’t think of your fabrication
of your clothing without trimmings. Trimmings can be attached with garments by sewing,
gluing, pressing or heat setting. Sewing thread, zipper, button etc. are some examples of
trimming.
Accessories are the materials which are used to give a finishing touch to your clothing products.
These are generally used to finish, decorate, pricing & packing the clothing. Accessories don’t
have the functional properties but have the aesthetic properties. Hanger, polybag, carton etc. are
some examples of accessories.
Comparison between trimmings and accessories are given below:
1. Trimmings are readily attached with your clothing products but accessories are not
readily attached with your clothing products.
2. Trimmings have both functional and non-functional properties but accessories have only
non-functional properties.
3. Without trimmings you can’t think about your clothing products but without accessories
you can go through it.
4. Trimmings are used to complete your clothing products and accessories are used to finish
and pack your clothing products.
5. Button, zipper, rivet, lining, lace etc. are some examples of trimmings and polybag,
safety pin, belts, scotch tape, carton etc. are some examples of accessories.
