Tatami Edge Tape, Japanese Jacquard Ribbon | Heavyweight Trim, 8cm x 10m

Made for artisans and interior designers seeking authentic materials with history and purpose, this tatami edge tape brings traditional Japanese craftsmanship into contemporary creative work. This heavyweight jacquard ribbon combines centuries-old textile heritage with modern versatility, offering the structural integrity and refined aesthetics that standard decorative trims simply cannot match.

Authentic Japanese Heritage & Manufacturing
Proudly woven in Kojima, Kurashiki?�a Japanese city globally renowned for premium textile production?�this tatami mat border has been used for centuries to bind, protect, and decorate the edges of traditional tatami mats. By incorporating this material into your handmade projects, you are weaving genuine Japanese cultural storytelling and textile artistry into your work. Every roll is 100% made in Japan.

Why This Trim Stands Apart
??Stiff and durable with exceptional structural integrity?�naturally supports bag straps, pouches, and bookbinding without requiring heavy interfacing
??Finished woven edges that resist fraying; clean, professional results whether folded, bound with bias tape, or carefully heat-sealed
??Composed of approximately 60% polyethylene, 17% polypropylene, and 23% polyester for reliable stiffness and longevity
??Measures 8cm wide by 10m long, offering generous length for multiple projects or a full roll commitment
??Do not iron or wash; protect from high temperatures, moisture, and UV exposure to maintain color and integrity

Versatile for Multiple Crafting Disciplines
This wide decorative tape excels across bag making trim, pouches, wallets, bookbinding supplies, and beyond. Use it for structural bag bases and crossbody straps, durable zip pouches and coin purses that maintain crisp, professional shape, textured book covers and junk journal spines, or authentic architectural accents for miniature dioramas and 1:12 scale Japanese room models.

Please Note
Due to loose threads on the reverse side, use only the face side of this woven edge tape. Pattern and color may vary slightly between production lots. While we strive to display colors accurately, your monitor settings and room lighting may create subtle differences from the actual product.
