Hello. This is Kayaba from ApparelX trend blog.
This time, we will be introducing tapes and cord by Kasai (QUEEN ACE) that are now available for purchase at ApparelX .
Manufacturer page: https://www.apparelx.jp/search.php?maker=162
This is an original brand by Mr. Kasai, who plans and manufactures tape cord. Originally (and still) we were manufacturing and selling sewing thread, and we also have a tape cord business using the brand we used there.
Since we also manufacture thread, we are particular about the materials and weaving methods used to produce our tapes.
First, I will post the products posted on ApparelX this time in list format.
Product number | Product name | explanation | specification | material |

As you can see from reading the product description, each product is packed with attention to detail.
I would like to introduce some of these products.
Adopts nylon hollow thread, making it both durable and lightweight.
In addition, by applying a unique pre-treatment to the thread, we have created an elegant twill weave.
This tape is representative of QUEEN ACE, which aims to reduce the burden on the body because it has ample volume and is lightweight, and also aims to have a silky and gentle texture.
By weaving nylon hollow thread with a hollow center into a flowing thick weave, the tape is durable, high quality, and lightweight.
The tape is approximately 20% lighter while maintaining its strength and quality, making the product lighter and reducing the burden on the body.
Also, since the cross section of the fibers of this thread is not a perfect circle, it scatters light and has a higher shine than usual.
The thick, satin-like weave makes the luster stand out even more, giving it a luxurious feel.
Making a shoulder pad for a bag takes time and effort, as it involves cutting the textile, wrapping the core material around it, and sewing it.
Our "Estee PAD" is delivered as a semi-finished product with a core material inserted into a cylindrical woven tape.
Not only does it save time, but there are no seams, so it looks clean and beautiful.
We have a wide variety of patterns (especially botanical ones), so please take a look!
