Pom Pom Lace — Braided Header Tape with Attached Pompoms
✓ Specs last checked: 2026-09-02
We make pom pom lace end to end in our Jaipur factory: the header tape is braided on narrow braiding machines from yarn we dye to shade on site, and the pompoms are formed from the same yarn and attached to the header at a fixed spacing in a separate assembly step. Natural undyed trim is cotton; every dyed shade is spun polyester finished to a cotton hand, or acrylic where you want a fuller, more uniform pompom. Pompom size, spacing and header width are all set-up choices, so every order is made to your spec rather than pulled off a stock shelf. MOQ is 1,000 metres per SKU — one shade at one pompom size — put up on cards or bulk rolls, quotes back in one working day, and we export worldwide.
A single row of pom pom trim along a cushion edge or a kurta hem sews down in one pass through the header tape — no hand finishing, no separate applique step.
We have run narrow fabrics in Jaipur since 1991, with twisting, braiding, dyeing and tipping all under our own roof. Because we braid the header and form the pompoms ourselves, pompom diameter, gap between pompoms and header width are all things you specify rather than things you settle for. A first order is 1,000 metres per SKU — one shade at one pompom size — run through your own line before you commit a season.
How Is Our Pom Pom Trim Made, and From What?
Pom pom lace is really two products joined into one.
The header tape is braided on our narrow braiding machines from yarn that has already been dyed to shade in our own dye house. Carrier count sets the header width and how firm the tape feels under a needle — a denser header holds its line along a long hem, a lighter one drapes better on soft fabric.
The pompoms are formed separately from the same dyed yarn, then attached to the header at a fixed spacing in an assembly step before the trim is wound. Because that assembly is a separate operation, three things are genuinely open to you: pompom diameter, spacing between pompoms along the tape, and header width. Wide spacing with a large pompom reads bold and festive; tight spacing with a small pompom reads closer to a textured fringe.
Materials follow one rule. Natural, undyed trim is cotton — a matte, absorbent pompom with a softer, slightly irregular surface, which suits natural-fibre home textiles and craft ranges. Every dyed shade is spun polyester, finished to look and feel like cotton, or acrylic, which gives a rounder, fluffier and more uniform pompom that holds its shape better and keeps its brightness in strong shades. At bulk volumes other fibres can be run to your specification. Header and pompom can be the same shade or deliberately contrasted — a neutral header with a coloured pompom is a common request because it disappears into the seam.
The honest point to state up front: this is a made-to-order trim, not a stock line. Every combination of size, spacing, width and shade is a fresh set-up, which is why we quote against a spec rather than against a catalogue number.
How Does Wholesale Buying Work From Our Factory?
You tell us pompom size, spacing, header width, material and colours; we quote within one working day. Braiding, dyeing and pompom assembly all happen in the same Jaipur unit.
MOQ of 1,000 metres per SKU, and a SKU is one shade at one pompom size — several shades in one shipment is fine and carries the minimum for each
Custom shades dyed in-house against your physical swatch, for both header and pompom
Pompom diameter and spacing set to your requirement at machine set-up
Put-up to suit your line: retail cards, reels, or continuous bulk rolls for cut-and-repack
Repeat orders run against your saved spec, so size, spacing and shade stay consistent
Export packing — polybagged and carton-packed for sea or air freight
Pom pom lace looks quite different sewn down than it does on the roll — the header disappears and the spacing reads tighter. Ask for sample lengths with your quote, stitch them into your actual product, and confirm pompom size and spacing before committing to volume.
What Do Businesses Actually Use Pom Pom Trim For?
Pom pom lace sells into several unrelated trades, and each one cares about a different part of the spec:
Home furnishings — cushion covers, curtain leading edges, bed runners, table linen and lampshades, usually with a medium pompom and a header narrow enough to vanish in the seam
Apparel — kurta and dupatta edges, kaftan hems, childrenswear, resort and beachwear, where a soft undyed cotton pompom is preferred against skin
Craft and haberdashery brands — cut and rewound onto branded cards for notions walls and online craft stores, where a bright acrylic pompom photographs better
Event and seasonal decor — bunting, garlands, gift wrap and festive decoration, where large pompoms and wide spacing give the most effect per metre
Bag and accessory makers — tote edges, pouch trims and hat bands, usually in small runs across many shades
Dispatch and freight

Frequently asked questions
What is the minimum order for wholesale pom pom lace?
1,000 metres per SKU — and a SKU is one shade at one pompom size, so a second shade or a different pompom size carries its own 1,000 metres. A first order is normally one SKU, stitched into a real sample and proven before you scale; several shades in one shipment is fine and costs the minimum for each. Below that a custom dye lot and a machine set-up stop making sense for either side.
How is pom pom lace priced?
₹4-10 per metre ex-works Jaipur. Pompom size and spacing set the price — small pompoms at close spacing use more forming work per metre than large ones spread out. Acrylic pompoms price slightly above the cotton-look polyester.
Can I choose the pompom size and the gap between pompoms?
Yes — both are set-up choices, not fixed options. Pompom diameter is decided at the assembly stage and spacing is set as the pompoms are attached to the header, so you specify them the way you specify a width. Tell us the effect you want if you are unsure; a large pompom on wide spacing and a small pompom on tight spacing produce completely different products from the same materials.
Should I choose cotton or acrylic pompoms?
Natural, undyed pompoms are cotton — matte, softer, with a slightly irregular surface, which is better for natural-fibre home textiles, childrenswear and anything sitting against skin. Every dyed shade is either spun polyester finished to a cotton hand, or acrylic, which gives a rounder, fluffier and more uniform pompom that holds its shape better and stays brighter in strong shades — that is why craft and decor ranges usually pick acrylic. At bulk volumes other fibres can be run to your specification.
Can the header be a different colour from the pompoms?
Yes, and it is a common request. A neutral or fabric-matched header disappears into the seam while a contrasting pompom carries the colour, which lets one header shade serve several pompom colours in the same range. Because we dye the yarn before braiding, both parts are matched to your swatch.
Do you supply pom pom lace ready-wound on cards for retail?
Yes. We put up on retail cards, reels or continuous bulk rolls. Give us the card size and the meterage per card and we wind to it, which removes a repacking step at your end. Bulk rolls are the better choice if you cut to your own lengths in-house.
Do you make phundi lace / pom pom kinari for dupattas?
Phundi lace, pom pom kinari, pom pom lace — one product, and this page is it: a tape edge with hanging pom poms in small, medium or large, made and assembled in Jaipur. Dupatta and home-decor buyers pick the pom size and shade; MOQ is 1,000 metres per SKU.
