Sequins

This is another item that is quickly becoming popular for winter/spring this year not to be over flashy with them but a subtle ddition to sparkle up your ourfit the party season. Sequins have been around since 2500bc in the Indus Valley but in the forms not like the plastic ones that we have today. Sequin the word comes from the French version of the Italian word zecchino. A sequin is also called a spangle, pailette. They were origionally made by rolling out gold very fine, cutting them out and then painting them so that the do not get any scratches when they were worn. Sequins were worn by the finest people due to the of golds price. But for this season a skirt, top or accesory will suffice, No need for real gold!
