This woven ribbon tape features a beautiful collaborative design by FLAT x nunocoto fabric, as featured in Cotton Friend Spring 2024 (vol. 90). Due to loose threads on the reverse side, we recommend using the front side only. Please note that pattern and color may vary slightly depending on the production lot, and monitor settings may affect how the color appears in photos.
