This tatami border tape may display slight variations in pattern and color across different production lots, as is natural with traditionally woven textiles. The reverse side contains loose threads, so we recommend working with the finished front face. Due to its specialized blend and construction, this trim requires gentle handling and should not be machine washed or ironed.
