"Washi, because of its quality and texture, offers something not just tactile but psychologically soothing. It's about one-third the weight of cotton, light, breathable and dry to the touch."
"Centuries ago, fabrics woven in the kasuri style were celebrated by common people. They were made by partially dyeing yarn so that when you weave it back together, you can create different patterns."
"Sea Island cotton has an unbelievable softness and a strong surface that resists wear over time. It's only grown in very small amounts in Barbados, Jamaica and Antigua."
"Harris tweed comes from the Outer Hebrides islands at the remote northwestern tip of Britain. Each yard of the fabric is handwoven in hundreds of patterns in the homes of its weavers."
The spring 2024 collection features a unique textile made from washi yarn, created by cutting and spinning washi strips. Inspired by a stay at a Hiroshima hotel, washi is lightweight, breathable, and biodegradable. The collection also incorporates partially dyed kasuri-style yarn, which is becoming rare due to declining craftspeople. Sea Island cotton, known for its softness and durability, is highlighted as one of the rarest and most sustainable fabrics. Harris tweed, handwoven in the Outer Hebrides, showcases traditional craftsmanship and unique patterns.
