Tatami Edge Tape, Japanese Jacquard - Nordic Blue | 8cm Wide, Bag Making Trim

Designed with makers and crafters in mind, this tatami edge tape brings authentic Japanese heritage into your studio projects. Woven in Kojima, Kurashiki—a city celebrated worldwide for premium textile manufacturing—this specialized jacquard trim carries centuries of cultural storytelling while delivering the structural integrity modern makers demand. The nordic blue colorway combines reindeer, snowflakes, and geometric designs, making it equally stunning as a functional foundation or a striking decorative accent.

• Width: approximately 8cm; length: approximately 10m per roll
• Material: approximately 47% polyethylene, 23% polypropylene, and 30% polyester blend
• Usable on both sides; long woven edges won't fray, and cut ends can be folded, bound, or heat-sealed
• Care: Do not iron or machine wash; protect from high temperatures, moisture, and direct UV rays to prevent shrinkage or fading
• Produced in Japan (Kojima, Kurashiki City, Okayama Prefecture)

Unlike standard ribbons, this durable fabric trim holds its shape beautifully, often eliminating the need for heavy interfacing in small pouches or structural details. The stiffness and clean finish make it ideal for bag making trim on tote straps, crossbody bag bands, and structured bases, while also excelling as book binding trim for textured book covers and junk journal spines. Equally versatile for coin purse trim, cardholders trim, and zip pouch material, this material transforms every project into something with genuine Japanese craftsmanship at its heart.
