Wool pinstripe deadstock and 100% silk haori 羽織 (a traditional Japanese jacket worn over a kimono originally designed for samurai as a practical outer layer for warmth and protection), textiles from Japan, and hand-stitched silk kimono panels.

The original kimono seams and motifs are preserved, honoring the garment's history and craftsmanship. Zero-waste design through patchwork techniques.
