Cord (Haberdashery)

Buy Cord: Elastic, Cotton and Furniture Cord

Looking to buy cord for a sewing project or a production run? Rijs Textiles stocks a broad range of cords, from stretchy elastic cord to sturdy cotton rope and elegant furniture cord. Whatever thickness or material you need, you'll find it here, sold per metre and in wholesale packages with automatic discounts in the cart. Delivery is from our warehouse in Tilburg, with fast handling on both small orders and bulk quantities.

Elastic Cord

Our elastic cord measures 3mm and is made from 75% polyester, 20% polyamide and 5% elastane. It stretches well without losing its shape, which makes it a solid choice for waistbands, cuffs, and drawstrings in clothing or accessories. It comes in a full package of 50 metres, handy if you're producing multiple garments or making repairs across a whole batch.

Cotton Cord in Several Thicknesses

Cotton cord is the workhorse of this category. We carry it in three thicknesses:

• Cotton cord 3mm: fine and flexible, suited for closures, decorative stitching, or trim work.
• Cotton cord 5mm: a versatile middle ground, often used where a bit more strength is needed without bulk.
• Cotton cord 12mm (rope): a thick, sturdy rope for decorative projects or functional pulls.
• Flat cotton cord 12mm: flat profile, popular for bag handles or as a decorative band.

All cotton cords are 100% cotton and come in full packages of 25 or 50 metres, depending on thickness. That makes them practical for bag makers, upholsterers, and anyone finishing off a clothing line with a natural-fibre cord.

Furniture Cord

For upholstery or decorative trim on furniture, we stock a 5mm furniture cord made from 52% acetate and 48% viscose. It has a slight sheen and drapes nicely, which suits piping, edging, or finishing touches on cushions and seating. Sold in packages of 25 metres.

Cord Stops and Finishing

Next to the cord itself, we carry plastic cord stops and cones for finishing drawstrings neatly. These are handy for hoodies, bags, or sportswear where a cord needs to be secured without knotting. If you're also sourcing zippers for the same project, our range of Zippers YKK covers that finishing detail too.

Ordering Cord: Per Metre or Wholesale

You can order every cord per metre for smaller projects, or step up to a full wholesale package when you need volume. Discounts apply automatically once you reach the package quantity, so there's no need to calculate anything manually. This setup works well for both hobby sewists and businesses producing in bulk, whether that's a small workshop or a larger manufacturing line.

A Cord for Every Project

Between elastic cord, cotton cord in three thicknesses, and furniture cord, this category covers most cord needs for clothing, bags, and interior finishing. Prices are competitive whether you buy per metre or in bulk, and stock is ready for quick shipping from Tilburg.
