English term

brushed metal ghilly eyestays

English to French Marketing Textiles / Clothing / Fashion
These full-grain leather shoes with brushed metal ghilly eyestays deliver the versatility and functionality you need for all your activities

Pour le moment, j'ai simplifié par "oeillets métalliques" je ne vois pas du tout ce qu'est "ghissy" ni à quoi se rapporte "brushed" (brossé?)
Proposed translations (French)
3 +3 oeillets en métal brossé

RHELLER Oct 15, 2005:
and I would definitely use the plural because there's always more than one :-)
RHELLER Oct 15, 2005:
no hits for that but I found "la�age fa�on ghillies" if you can live with that

ghilly Hi Rita, thanks would you think ghilly could be "la�age crois�" = crossed laces?
