Textile clip

A releasable clip assembly operable to secure a cushion to a supporting surface, the assembly comprising:

• a male component which is received in a first axis in a chassis opening defined by a chassis of a female component, the female component comprising one or more engagement elements configurable into an open configuration to admit the male component and operable to return to a closed configuration to engage the received male component to secure it in the chassis, wherein the engagement elements in the closed configuration cut off arcs of the chassis opening and wherein the engagement elements are operable to be forced into the open configuration by an end of the male element so the female component provides snap-lock engagement for the male component;
• and
• one or more release elements operable when actuated transversely to the first axis to also allow the engagement elements to be configured in the open configuration to release the male component,
• wherein each engagement element is connected to two release elements such that the actuation of either release element allows movement of the engagement element into the open configuration.
