Imitation Leather Bias Binding

Bias Binding Imitation Leather 20mm

Bias binding imitation leather 20mm brings a leather-look finish to sewing projects without the weight or cost of real hide. Made from a blend of polyester and polyurethane, this binding folds neatly around edges and gives garments, bags and accessories a polished, almost couture-level finish. It's available by the metre in a range of colours, from classic black and brown to statement metallics like gold and silver. Popular with both home sewers finishing a single jacket and small workshops producing in bulk.

What makes imitation leather bias binding different

Unlike cotton or satin bias tape, this binding has a bit of body and a slight sheen that mimics real leather. It doesn't fray, doesn't need pressing the way woven binding does, and holds its fold well once stitched. At 20mm wide, it's a manageable size for encasing raw edges on medium to heavier fabrics, wide enough to catch both layers securely without becoming bulky.

Colours and finishes

The range covers the shades you'd expect from a leather-look product:

• Black
• Brown
• Gray
• White
• Gold
• Silver

The metallic tones (gold and silver) work well as an accent on jackets, bags or festive garments, while black, brown, gray and white suit more everyday or classic designs. If you're after a softer finish instead, our Satin Bias Binding 20mm or Cotton Bias Binding 20mm might suit better.

Typical applications

This binding is used to finish edges cleanly and add a bit of visual contrast at the same time:

• Edging jacket hems and cuffs
• Finishing bag and wallet openings
• Trimming collars and necklines on fashion pieces
• Attaching linings where a decorative edge shows
• Accent detailing on accessories like belts or straps

It's a fitting match for our Imitation Leather Piping if you want a coordinated leather-look finish across a single project.

Sewing tips

Imitation leather doesn't behave quite like woven cotton tape. A universal needle handles it fine on lighter fabric combinations, but a dedicated leather needle punches through more cleanly on thicker layers and prevents skipped stitches. Pair it with a strong thread rated for synthetic leather, this keeps the stitching from breaking under tension. Pin sparingly, since needle holes stay visible in the material, and use clips instead where possible.

Ordering by the metre

You order this bias binding by the metre, which means you can buy exactly what a single project needs or stock up for repeated use. Full rolls of 25 metres come at a wholesale price, a practical option for small studios or anyone working through several garments. If you're not sure which colour reads best against your fabric, other bias binding options like Jersey Bias Binding 20mm or Elastic Bias Binding are worth comparing for stretch projects.

In short

Bias binding imitation leather 20mm gives you a leather-look finish that's easier to sew than actual leather and available in colours from understated black to eye-catching gold. Whether you're finishing a single bag or working through a production run, it's ordered by the metre with wholesale pricing on full rolls.
