Description
Sashiko began as a practical necessity. A resourceful way to extend the life of textiles.
The Sashiko Maintenance Kit includes all the tools to repair and reinforce. And this naturally turns into an act of unique creation and customization. By adding your own stitched patterns, you aren't simply fixing a garment, you are actively shaping its character and making it entirely your own.
This practice is rooted in the scarce and sacred.
When hemp and wood were the most common fibers for clothing amongst commoners, stitching sashiko was leveraged to strengthen fabric or to make for warmer clothing.
Semamori, back amulet, is stitching protective symbols onto the back of garments. Embedding silent wishes and affectionate intentions into the very fabric. By adding your own stitches to the Workwear Haori, you follow in the tradition of creating your own story.
