When you come into my shop, I ask you with the utmost respect to PLEASE

open the umbrellas.

How else will you see how awesome they are? The ones with the extra pop out bit to cover your backpack (or hair) are especially special.

So clever and well made.This unisex jacket, made in Japan, mimics the effect of boro (meaning rags), an old method of repeatedly repairing garments in times when fabric was a valuable commodity for commoners. Clothing would be patched and stitched to prolong the life of garments over decades.

This modern take is an homage to boro, beautifully printed rather than patched. I'd like to think that the owner will, when the time comes, add layers to build on the effect, carry on the tradition and extend the jacket's useful life.

Meanwhile, I'm slowly doing some similar (but much smaller) visible mending on Japanese vintage cotton noragi jackets, which will eventually make their appearance in the shop too. There's room for both.
