Not every craft ribbon needs to be soft and draping; this one keeps it to structural integrity and clean, crisp finishes. The tatami edge tape is a specialized heavyweight jacquard trim woven in Japan specifically for binding, protecting, and decorating edges with remarkable durability. This authentic tatami-beri transforms traditional Japanese textile heritage into a modern material perfect for creators seeking tactile, authentic accents with natural support.

• Width: Approximately 8 cm; Length: Approximately 10 m per full roll
• Material: Approximately 55% polyethylene, 26% polypropylene, and 19% polyester blend
• Stiff, heavyweight construction with woven edge finish prevents fraying and provides excellent natural support
• Care: Do not iron, wash, or expose to high temperatures, moisture, or UV rays, which may cause shrinkage or discoloration

Proudly woven in Kojima, Kurashiki—a Japanese city globally renowned for premium textile manufacturing in Okayama Prefecture—this material carries centuries of cultural significance. For generations, tatami mat edge has been the authentic choice for traditional Japanese construction. The banana pattern trim shown here is a flat Exclusive design, and please note that due to the material's characteristics, pattern and color may vary slightly depending on the production lot. Due to loose threads on the reverse side, we recommend using only the front face of the tape.

Versatile Applications Across Crafting Disciplines

This woven edge finish is the ultimate accent for bag making tape projects, from sturdy tote bag straps and crossbody bands to decorative gussets and structured bag bases.

Bookbinding and journaling enthusiasts will appreciate the textured appearance for stunning book covers, junk journal spines, and layered paper craft accents. The durable craft tape is equally suited for dollhouse miniatures and 1:12 scale Japanese washitsu dioramas, where authenticity matters. The ribbon for crafts holds its shape beautifully, offering clean finishes with edges that can be folded, bound with bias tape, or carefully heat-sealed.
