It’s been a while since I visited Loft since it has been raining everyday for several weeks in this rainy season. I just couldn’t find the right timing to go farther than the train station near my place. To my surprise on this spur of the moment visit (also because the weather started becoming stable), the Pavilio lace tapes were on SALE! I’ve seen them before when they first came out of Loft and I thought it was one those masking tape brand much like maste, a shortened Japanese term for masking tapes. We’re all familiar with the mt brand, which kickstarted the design masking tape trend but Pavilio is different. It is more of a sticker type tape with laser cut designs unlike the masking tapes having printed designs on the tape itself. 
I got one of the regular size lace tapes with a Japanese geometrical design on it and another one of the light version with yellow LED lights kind of pattern on it. I’m loving the vibrant colors in the design and the lace cut patterns and these are something you could use flexibly on any stationery, i.e., paper wrapping, invitation cards, letter envelopes, similar to masking tapes. But I think these stand out because there is a “shape” to it unlike masking tapes which are rectangular. So, I suppose I appreciate the design aspect of it and how it accentuates where you place it. Also, it peeled off easily like how masking tapes not harm paper when you remove it and that’s a plus!
Let me know what you think of Pavilio lace tapes if you ever get hold of one? If not, let me know if you’d like to get hold of one as I could probably send samples. Also, you could check out their website (English available), they have an online shop! (This is not sponsored, I just like them) >> https://www.pavi.shop/
