• Made in Japan (Kojima, Kurashiki City, Okayama Prefecture)

Please note that due to the natural characteristics of this jacquard trim, pattern and color may vary slightly between production lots. The reverse side contains loose threads and is not recommended for visible finishing. While we work to capture accurate colors in product photography, slight variations may appear depending on your monitor settings and room lighting.
