…a little piece of unknown history of another woman. 

The products I create are strictly unique. They have been made with the utmost care, using top-quality vintage kimono silk. All of the silk is from kimonos and obis that were disassembled because they were no longer suitable for wear, so there may be a few slight imperfections (which only add character and history). These textiles are very precious and rare -  hand-selected in extremely limited amounts, never to be used to create the same style twice. These items are not “recycled,” but rather renewed as an art piece, unleashing the original beauty of the fabric.

I make every effort to create articles that are playful, colourful, ladylike, and a little bit magical. Each conveys its own secret story, mood and personality.

My hope is for my creations to be worn, displayed or carried as anyone would a precious piece of jewellery, a delicate flower, or their favourite toy as a child.

…and make it a part of their history.
