Apron featuring a fixed belt with a tie closure on each side.

Made in Purple Checks, a classic Japanese Gingham motif, and Indigo Glint for contrast. The Indigo Glint fabric, in signature kasuri colours, is naturally dyed using the Indigofera tinctoria plant — a pea plant traditionally used to dye work garments, with properties believed to enhance the fabric’s durability and also ward off insects. The making of kasuri fabrics involve more than thirty intricate processes, with specialized craftspeople responsible for each stage. 

The fabrics are woven in a 77-year-old, family-run mill in Yame, Japan, using preserved kasuri techniques and salvaged Toyota power looms — relics of the Industrial Revolution. Once a nationwide-practiced craft used for kimono-making, it has gradually declined over time, leaving only a few remaining mills in Yame, which today are acknowledged as preservers of cultural heritage in Japan.
