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

Made in Cherry Blossom — an original Kasuri (ikat) warp pattern and colour inspired by Japan’s national flower, and Violet-Khaki Stripe for contrast.

The fabrics are woven in a 75-year-old, family-run mill in Yame, Japan, using preserved Kasuri techniques and salvaged Toyota power looms — relics of the Industrial Revolution. The looms are semi-automated and characteristically narrow, allowing the weaver to control tension and ensure that the pre-dyed yarn aligns so that the intended pattern appears. Once a nationwide-practiced craft used for kimono-making, Kasuri declined after the post-war shift toward western fashion and synthetic textiles, leaving only a few remaining mills in Yame, whom today are acknowledged as preservers of culture in Japan.
