Hillfields Ribbon Works

Ribbons woven the Coventry way

We are a small mill in Hillfields weaving silk and cotton ribbons, picture bookmarks and woven labels on restored Jacquard looms, a few streets from where the city's ribbon trade began.

See what we weave

Narrow-fabric weaving

Plain and patterned ribbons from 6 mm to 75 mm, woven to length for milliners, bookbinders, florists and costume makers.

Picture bookmarks

Woven silk pictures in the tradition of the Victorian Coventry bookmark, made from your artwork or from our own archive designs.

Small runs welcome

Most mills start at thousands of metres. We are happy to weave fifty metres of a colour you cannot find anywhere else.

The mill is open to visitors on the first Saturday of each month. Weaving days and loom demonstrations are listed on our visit page.
