Trims

Exquisite Decorative Orthodox Trims & Braids Available at Istok Church Supplies

The garments worn by Bishops, Priests, Deacons and others in the Russian, Greek, and Serbian Orthodox Churches are very grand with a lot of decorative braids, trims, embroidery, gold and silver thread, velvet, and brocades of rich materials and colour. 

 

Rich Fabrics

The fabrics are available from many sources, but Orthodox Church suppliers like Istok based in Calgary, Canada offer a wide range of Orthodox trims for decorating. The fabrics on offer are all rich in quality and unique in designs. The actual term used for decorative trims is galloons and can be best described as decorative trims made from metallic gold or silver threads. Some galloons are made to form braids while others are made from lace and embroidery. They come in a range of combination colours; claret-gold, purple-gold, red-gold, and white-gold, etc.

 

Competitive Prices

The width of the liturgical vestment trims for church range from 18 mm to 60 mm and is available from Istok Church Supplies at very reasonable prices ranging from US$1.90 per strip to US$14. These prices are very competitive when compared to other suppliers, and Istok Church Supplies have regular special offers where prices are reduced for liturgical vestment trims and other items. These decorative braids, trims, and fringes are very popular with the Eastern Orthodox Churches and are usually made from gold thread.

 

Metallic Trim

Silk is one of the most popular material used in liturgical fabric and trim; however, for easy maintenance, blended fabrics are now in vogue. Vestment trims come in a variety of designs, colours, and materials and can be bought based on the budget of individual churches. The liturgical vestments have elaborate borders and trims of multi-coloured designs in metallic threads or rayon. Orthodox garments worn by Priests consist of elaborately designed metallic buttons, trim cords, tassels, galloons, and medallions.
