For years we worked with a company that made our cord stiff and perfectly malleable to create The Original Heart Knot. Sadly, the company was sold and as a result a new company came in and the cording became less than fab.  I scoured the shelves of stores and finally found this amazing cord that comes from FRANCE!!  It's silky and beautiful and creates a beautiful heart. The color is shinier and a bit less flash from the original, but in my opinion, is more elegant and chic! Enjoy!
