Bijuland is a wholesale bead and craft materials supplier based in Plovdiv, Bulgaria. The Decorative Tapes and Braids category (ленти и ширити — lenti i shiriti) covers woven and braided flat textile trims for garment decoration and craft — sold by the metre, with shipping across Bulgaria and Europe.

Decorative tapes and braids (ленти и ширити — lenti i shiriti) are flat textile trims produced by weaving or braiding threads into a continuous flat strip — sold by the metre and applied to garments, accessories, and craft projects as decorative edging, trim, or embellishment. The distinction between a tape and a braid is primarily structural: a tape (лента — lenta) is a flat woven strip with finished edges — similar in structure to a ribbon but typically with a woven pattern or texture rather than a plain surface — used as a flat band applied along seams, edges, and hems; a braid or galloon (ширит — shirit, also called галон — galon in Bulgarian) is a more complex braided construction, typically with a raised, three-dimensional surface texture produced by the braiding technique, and often with decorative geometric or repeating patterns built into the braid structure. Both are used in the same applications — garment edging, costume trimming, uniform decoration, upholstery and home textile edging, bag and accessory decoration, and craft embellishment — but their visual character differs: tapes tend to be flatter and more graphic, while braids have more three-dimensional texture and a more artisan or traditional character. Common design types include military-style braid, folk and ethnic pattern galloons, metallic braid trim, floral woven tape, and geometric pattern braid.

Decorative tapes and braids are applied by sewing or gluing along a defined line — a seam, edge, hem, or decorative placement — on a garment or textile object. In costume and theatrical making, braid and galloon trims are the standard finishing detail on period, military, and ethnic costumes — the metallic braid on a uniform jacket, the woven galloon at the hem of a folk costume skirt, and the decorative trim on a theatrical cloak are all applications of this category. In fashion and garment craft, woven tape trim is sewn along necklines, cuffs, and hems to add colour and pattern detail to plain garments. In home textile decoration, decorative tape and braid is applied to cushion covers, curtain edges, and upholstery to add a finishing trim detail. In bag and accessory making, braid trim is sewn along bag edges and straps as decorative detail. Bijuland ships from Plovdiv, Bulgaria and supplies costume makers, fashion crafters, textile crafters, and craft supply resellers across Bulgaria and Europe.
