The Origin of the Name "Fortuna Pearl"

The "Fortuna Pearl," sold by Handicrafts Store☆ALAUDAE, is a beautiful material imported from Taiwan.
The name is deeply connected to Taiwan's history and language.

  • Taiwan's Alternative Name: Taiwan was once called "Formosa" in Spanish.
  • Meaning of Formosa: "Formosa" means "beautiful island."

Therefore, Handicrafts Store☆ALAUDAE named the product "Fortuna Pearl" out of respect for beautiful Taiwan and with the wish that handicrafts lovers would bring us good fortune (Fortuna).

1. Fortuna Pearl Features

Material Texture: It is a 21mm width PP band characterized by a unique pearl-like texture and a smooth, silk-like feel.

Material Characteristics:

  • Does not stiffen even in early winter.
  • Coil set is easy to flatten/manage.
  • No thread-like fibers/lint are produced.
  • Resistant to vertical splitting.
  • Usage: A plastic band used for handmade items such as bags and baskets.
  • Seasonal Adaptability: It does not stiffen even in low temperatures in early winter, making it easy to handle.
  • Coil Set Management: The coil set can be quickly flattened (made to lie flat).
  • Cleanliness and Stability: It does not produce thread-like fibers/lint and the material does not vertically split (crack vertically). It is a highly versatile material that can be shaped into various forms depending on your creativity.

Cautions Regarding Usage

  • Problem during Width Processing: When using the 6mm width, if too much force is applied, it may stretch or tear, so it is necessary to be careful with the amount of force used.

2. About the Color Variations

Abundant Selection of 53 Colors

  • This material is available in a very abundant selection of 53 color.

Basis for Color Names

  • The names for the colors were carefully determined by comparing the actual colors (physical material) with traditional Japanese color names (as displayed on the web).

Important Note on Viewing Colors

  • Please understand that the way colors appear may differ depending on the customer's individual color perception, viewing environment (such as lighting), and the device used (monitor, smartphone, etc.).
  • To ensure the colors displayed on the website are as close as possible to the physical material, we placed a strong emphasis on image processing during the 2023–2024 website renewal.

3. PP band in Japan

✅ Merits (Advantages)

  • Availability/Price: As a packaging material, it is easy to obtain. The unit price is low/inexpensive.

❌ Demerits (Drawbacks/Cautions)

  • Limited colors (Color variations are restricted).
  • The width is typically 15mm, resulting in few options.
  • The material is stiff, which can easily cause pain in the hands when weaving.
  • When force is applied, the material is prone to splitting vertically (longitudinally).
  • Standard PP bands are primarily manufactured for the purpose of packaging luggage/cargo.

📌 Concise Summary

  • The main attraction of PP bands is that they are inexpensive and easily accessible. However, the drawbacks are the limited choices of color and width, and the poor workability due to their stiffness and tendency to split.
