Have you heard of Sashiko? This ancient Japanese embroidery technique is captivating fashion lovers worldwide, and it’s not hard to see why. The beauty of Sashiko lies in its simplicity – a series of repeated, elegant stitches that not only repair but also enhance the fabric, creating something entirely unique. We are fascinated by this tradition and the artistry behind it. It’s more than just a way to fix garments – it’s a way to transform them into pieces of art.
Many Japanese designers, such as Yohji Yamamoto, Issey Miyake, and Junya Watanabe, have drawn inspiration from traditional techniques like Sashiko, blending them with modern aesthetics to create stunning fashion collections. The beauty of these designs is not just in their look but in their deeper meaning – honoring craftsmanship, longevity, and sustainability.
The technique originally came from rural Japan as a method for patching worn-out clothing, making them more durable and warm. Today, it’s found its way into the spotlight as a fashion-forward statement, embodying the values of slow fashion and sustainability. Big brands like Visvim and smaller ateliers alike have embraced Sashiko to create one-of-a-kind pieces, transforming discarded fabrics into fashion treasures.
We’ve taken this inspiration and built something exciting around it. We aren’t just introducing Sashiko for the sake of it – we’re integrating it into something bigger. You know us; we love combining sustainability with style. That’s why we’re thrilled to announce our RARE Drops – a space where creativity, sustainability, and exclusivity come together in the form of limited-edition, handcrafted pieces using the Sashiko technique.
