FAQs

Our mission is to provide higher quality ribbons at lower costs. For that reason, we do not have a physical shop at the moment, and sell our items online only.

We are closed on Saturdays,  Sundays and during public holidays. Our business hours are from 9:00 to 17:00 (JST). We are closed for one week during summer, and during New Year's.

Please contact us by chat, or e-mail (inquiry form). Regarding chat, we respond in real time during our business hours. It takes about 2 to 3 business days to respond to e-mails.

At our shop, we have a personal information protection policy for protecting personal information, so that we can use it safely and securely.

In addition, we send out and receive data using a highly-confidential encryption communication technology known as "SSL (Secure Sockets Layer)" to protect our customers' personal information and keep the website secure on all pages.

We will send you information regarding new arrivals and great deals on ribbons, etc. unique to RiBBONs (the emails will be sent out irregularly, about 10 times in a year).

We are preparing actual samples and three meter-cut products (three-pieces products), so you can check them.

You can check the "Size" and "Thickness" at the "Specs" section of each product page. Additionally, since our store carries narrow fabric products, there may be slight variation in size in the process of weaving, dyeing, etc.

We do our best to reproduce the actual colors of our products in our product images. However, please also be aware that it is impossible to completely eliminate all discrepancies due to the production lot of our product or settings of our customers' monitors, etc. (If you need to confirm the exact colors, please purchase our sample cards or three meter-cut products before ordering the actual product).

Please refer to the "Washing Marks" and "Instructions" described on the product page. Our 100% cotton / organic cotton / rayon products are made with high standards that make them suitable for use in even infant products.

Product prices are listed on each product page. Also, since there is no change in unit price by order lot, we do not accept requests for unit prices (quotation).

We are sorry, but we do not accept requests for bespoke products with original designs.

If you place your order by 7:00 (JST) on a business day, we will ship it the following day. *Except for sample items (three meter-cut products and three-pieces products).
