What sets this material apart is its authentic Provence motif and its reputation for holding shape beautifully. The long woven edges are finished and won't fray, while cut ends can be easily folded, bound with bias tape, or carefully heat-sealed for clean, professional results. Featured in Cotton Friend Spring/Summer 2025 (vol. 93) as a collaboration between Kamakura Swany and Yoko Kato, this fabric trim represents both heritage and innovation in textile design. Please note that due to its specialized composition and loose threads on the reverse side, we recommend using only the face side of the ribbon. Pattern and color may vary slightly between lots due to natural production variations.
