These braided tapes look like the bands woven on inkle looms. Hence the name of the loom - as best anyone knows. Of course, a woven band is not a braided band.
Words slip and slither.
In use in England for 300 years, fixed heddle continuous warp looms are most likely prehistoric. Simple enough to be discovered and forgotten innumerable times. Four inches weaving width is the limit for most inkle looms. But bands four inches and under may be belts, handbag straps, trim for clothing, guitar straps. Or be sewn together for scarves, bags, skirts.
