Hello. This is Kayaba from the ApparelX trend blog.
This time, we will introduce Kasai (QUEEN ACE)'s tape and cord products, which are now newly available for purchase on ApparelX.
Maker page: https://www.apparelx.jp/search.php?maker=162
It is Kasai's original brand for planning and manufacturing tape and cord products. They originally manufactured and sold sewing thread (and still do), and this was the brand used for that business. They also develop their tape and cord product line.
Since they also manufacture thread, they produce tapes with a strong focus on materials, weaving methods, and more.
First, here is a list of the products newly listed on ApparelX.
| Product number | Product name | Description | Specifications | Material |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0010 | PP tape, herringbone weave | The lightest of all fibers, with a specific gravity of about 0.9, lighter than water, so it floats. It also does not absorb moisture, so it has excellent resistance to mold and bacteria. While resistant to chemicals, it is somewhat weak against heat, so please be careful. | 1roll: 50m Thickness: approx. 0.8 mm Sizes: 20mm / 25mm | 100% polypropylene |
| 0012 | PP tape, 1.2MM thickness | The lightest of all fibers, with a specific gravity of about 0.9, lighter than water, so it floats.

| 1048 | N line | Uses two different types of nylon yarn. It is woven using two yarns for the warp: a common lustrous filament type (continuous filament) and a spun type (short fiber) with a cotton-like matte texture. By piece dyeing this tape woven in natural color, the center line emerges due to differences in dye absorption and texture.) | 1roll: 50m Thickness: approx. 2.mm Sizes: 30mm / 38mm / 50mm | 100% nylon |

As you can see from the product descriptions, each item is made with great attention to detail.
From among them, I would like to introduce a few products.
By using nylon hollow yarn, it achieves both durability and lightness.
We also gave the yarn a unique pre-treatment to create an elegant twill weave.
With a rich volume while remaining lightweight, it reduces the burden on the body and is a representative QUEEN ACE tape aimed at a gentle, silk-like feel.
By weaving nylon hollow yarn with a hollow center into a flowing, thick fabric, it is finished as a durable, high-quality, and lightweight tape.
The tape, which is about 20% lighter while maintaining strength and quality, can reduce product weight and lessen the burden on the body.
Also, because the cross-section of this yarn is not perfectly round, it reflects light diffusely and has more sheen than usual.
By making it into a satin-like flowing weave, that sheen stands out even more and creates a sense of luxury.
Making bag shoulder pads requires cutting fabric, wrapping the core material, and sewing it together, which takes time and effort.
Our "ESTY PAD" is delivered as a semi-finished product with the core inserted into a tubular woven tape.
Not only does it save labor, but because there are no seams, it has a clean and beautiful appearance.
There is a wide variety of patterns available, especially botanical ones, so please take a look!
