Due to its specialized traditional blend and loose threads on the reverse side, we recommend using only the front side of this decorative tape trim. While photos are color-matched as closely as possible, slight variations may occur based on monitor settings and lighting. Pattern and color may also vary slightly between production lots, which is natural for traditionally woven textiles.
