This specialized trim is not your average decorative trim tape. Unlike standard ribbons, tatami-beri holds its shape beautifully, often eliminating the need for heavy interfacing in small pouches or structural accents. The long woven edges are finished and will not fray; cut ends can be easily folded in, bound with bias tape, or carefully heat-sealed for clean finishes. Due to its traditional blend composition, please handle with care and avoid washing or ironing.

Color and pattern variations may occur between production lots, and monitor settings or room lighting may cause slight color differences from product photos. This is the authentic nature of traditional japanese textiles.
