Expensive but yes, you can find any kind of ribbon.

Ribbons, ribbons everywhere… but they could very well break the bank. This place made me feel like a child again. I wandered around happily looking at all the pretty colours and textures of ribbon and trim. I started dreaming about making tutus and random pretty things. I blame my mother for sending me to ballet classes when I was younger and leaving me with the urge to dress in pink and ribbons. The staff are friendly and allow you to browse without bothering you. Even if, like me, you wander in looking like a sunburnt vagrant. Be very very careful to check the prices though. I bought some pretty standard ribbon at $ 7.50/m(eek) but there were some that were over $ 20/m. You could definitely get ribbon cheaper, but I’m not sure everywhere would make it look quite so appealing and pretty!

I do believe Kat F. said it all — Mokuba has the most incredible selection of ribbons and trims you have ever seen. Whatever colour or design, width or texture you are looking for — they will have it. They have a small selection of fur trim that is so soft and amazing. But you will pay for it! Everything is very pricey, and some things are sold by the yard — others by the foot, so it will add up very fast! I would suggest shopping around a bit first, but if there’s something you love here, chances are you won’t find it anywhere else because their products are Mokuba exclusives.

I’m about to type an extremely bizarre sentence that I never thought I’d be typing: I just dropped $ 40 on ribbon. Three ribbons, to be exact. If you want to test how quickly you can spend your hard-earned dollars, just set foot inside Mokuba. Your money will vanish in a matter of moments — it’s just impossible to spend less than $ 30 – 50 at Mokuba. I asked one of the salespeople how many ribbons they had in stock and she told me, completely straightfaced, that they had 27,000. And that they used to «only» carry 22,000, so this was a huge upgrade. There is a preposterous amount of beautiful ribbon in the store. Every colour, width and fabric imaginable, from grosgrain to silk, corduroy, velvet, satin, nylon and feathers. All sorts of patterns like plaid, polka dot, striped, floral, bordered, etc. You’ll never see a man in this store, which brings me to my next point: gentlemen, if crafty, stylish DIY hipster girls make you tingle in your bathing suit places, go hang out at Mokuba. All of the staff there is part of the cutesy, romper-and-geek-glasses-wearing crowd, and there are dozens of adorable girls milling around in the store trying to pick out suitable ribbon widths. You’d be wise to make yourself a regular. Hint: if you want delicate and decorative ribbon that’s wayyyy cheaper, I’d suggest Scrapbooks By Design on Queen East. They obviously don’t have 27,000 spools of ribbon to chose from, but there are cutesy polka dotted and striped ribbons that cost $ 1 – 2 for several metres, vs $ 10 – 15PER metre. More than enough for whatever project you’re doing. Also, how on earth am I the First To Review? Maybe no one else can afford this place?
