The materials we handle are kimono fabric and obi (kimono belts).
It is a highly functional material packed with traditional Japanese culture, techniques, and aesthetic sense. Unfortunately, however, it is no longer used in the daily lives of Japanese people, and it has become a bit forgotten.
Kimonos that are usually a family heirloom are now sleeping in a drawer and thrown away as garbage.
Using such vintage kimonos, we combine them with leather and other materials to give them a second life and make them into Japanese accessories that can be used in everyday life.
By upcycling kimonos into items that can be used by people of all generations, we hope to revive kimonos, which would likely be discarded, into world-class treasures.
This project is a one-of-a-kind item with no two identical fabric colors, patterns, or materials.
