Piping cord

Piping cord (also known as seam protector) is a super versatile material that provides protection, structure, and decoration all in one. It’s often used in bag making—especially for designs that are sewn inside out and then turned right side out—but it’s also popular in upholstery projects.

This particular piping cord is solid yet very flexible, making it easy to work with—even around curves. It comes in classic black and is made from 100% recycled PVC, making it an eco-conscious choice.

Whether you're reinforcing seams, adding a clean edge, or simply giving your bag more definition, this piping cord will do the trick beautifully.
