Sashiko Indigo Plant-Dyed Patchwork Knot Bag

This piece is crafted from three plant-dyed fabrics, each with varying shades of fading, seamlessly joined together using the traditional Sashiko technique. It embraces the beauty of imperfection and simplicity.Designed with both artistry and sustainability in mind, this product reflects our commitment to eco-friendly practices and timeless design.

Sashiko (刺し子) and Boro (ぼろ) are two complementary techniques in Japanese traditional craftsmanship, both originating from the everyday lives of common people in Japan as methods to extend the lifespan of clothing. The combination of Sashiko's delicate embroidery and Boro's humble patchwork not only creates a visual effect that embodies wabi-sabi (the beauty of imperfection and transience) but also conveys a philosophy of sustainability—a reminder to reevaluate the value of "repair" and "reuse" in an era of fast fashion.
