A tassel is more elaborate than a cluster: it resembles and behaves like an old curtain tassel, fitting perfectly on a tie-back, a cabinet key, or the frame of a carved mirror. It is the most classic version of the seashell tassel, the one that doesn't look like a holiday decoration.

What you need to know to install and maintain it:

• Slide the skirt onto a wide-toothed comb, once from top to bottom
• Never run it between tightly-pressed fingers, as the fine thread will permanently pill
• Hang the item freely rather than storing it folded in a drawer
• The skirt retains the shape it is allowed to take
• Indoor use
