It's previous use was as a kimono that we deconstructed. The garment was sewn as a whole cloth, just folding extra fabric, but not cutting it off. Then, when the garment is deconstructed for another use, the cloth is still in large, whole pieces that can more easily be reused.

Fabrics include silk and wool in a variety of colors and a range of ages. 

They are perfect for Japanese boro-inspired arts such as patchwork, visible mending, and the like.

Photos show a representative sample of all the fabrics, but the size of the pieces in the packs is smaller. Each pack contains 8-10 different pieces that vary in size from ~2” x 2” up to ~7” x 3”. Keep in mind these packs are made from reclaimed materials so the number of pieces, sizes, and even the patterns can vary. We’ll make sure the pack has an interesting variety, but we cannot guarantee it will always be exactly as shown here. 

All pieces are used, but clean and have their own character including: fading, creases and threads from hems, tiny holes from previous seams, and similar signs of wear.

All are produced in Japan
