A decorative part for a vehicle interior, comprising a fabric layer with one or more optical fibers woven into it and at least one light coupling device, via which light can be coupled into the optical fibers. The light coupling device comprises a translucent injection-molded first plastic component with the ends of the optical fibers embedded in the first plastic component with a material bond. A method for manufacturing the component comprising the steps of: providing a fabric layer with one or more optical fibers woven into it, wherein the ends of the optical fibers protrude from the fabric layer; inserting the fabric layer into a first injection mold and overmolding the ends of the optical fibers with a translucent first plastic component to form a material bond between the ends of the optical fibers and the first plastic component; and forming the first plastic component into a light coupling device via which light can be coupled into the optical fibers.
