A parka made by combining four types of sashiko fabric.
By selecting sashiko fabrics with different weaves and textures and switching between them in a single garment, the differences in the materials themselves are subtly highlighted.
The differences in color and texture naturally emerge as part of the structure.

Material

Four types of sashiko fabric are used as the base.
Each features a distinctive bumpy weave and a soft, puffy texture, resulting in different expressions.
A one-wash treatment after production helps to blend the contrast between the fabrics while bringing out the unique three-dimensional quality of sashiko.

Processing and Details

A one-wash treatment after production softens the overall stiffness, giving it a natural texture.
Antique beads are added to the hood string, subtly incorporating the decorative quality of handmade craftsmanship.
The embellishments are not overly assertive, placed as an extension of the material's feel.

Silhouette

A relaxed form with a generous body width.
Leveraging the thickness of the sashiko fabric, it creates a natural drape when worn.
Designed to be suitable for layering.

Background Story

A garment that symbolizes the 26SS season theme "Artisan Craftsmanship."
It stems from the idea of embracing the individuality of the materials rather than striving for a uniform finished product.
The overlapping textures of different fabrics create a product that conveys layers of time.
