Tatami Edge Tape, Japanese Jacquard Ribbon | Heavyweight Trim | Bag Making

Not every decorative trim needs to be delicate and flimsy; this one keeps it to genuine structural support and authentic craftsmanship. This tatami edge tape is a heavyweight jacquard ribbon born from centuries of Japanese textile tradition, woven in Kojima, Kurashiki—a city globally renowned for premium fabric manufacturing. Stiff, durable, and remarkably easy to work with, it brings the authentic heritage of traditional tatami mat borders into your modern creative practice.
