Preferred label	Lace and embroidery, ribbons and braid; buttons, hooks and eyes, pins and needles; artificial flowers
Definition	Clothing embellishments are in Class 26. These embellishments may be decorative, such as, lace trimmings, frills for clothing and spangles for clothing. They may also be functional, such as, belt clasps, snap fasteners, zippers and shoe buckles. The broad reference to hooks, pins and needles in the Class Heading allows for the introduction of crochet hooks, knitting needles and sewing needles as well as items that are related to these goods, such as, pin cushions and boxes for needles. It should be noted that natural hair and wigs and other false hair items are in Class 26 as well as items that are related to them, such as, hair nets, hair bands and hair curling papers. The item artificial flowers justifies inclusion of many artificial replicas of natural flora. However, artificial Christmas trees are in Class 28 since they are considered, for classification purposes, an object of amusement more than a decorative piece of artificial flora.
