The brand concept is "unconventional" ( = unconventional)
We don't set a frame that says it has to be this way, but we try to face the manufacturing as well as the customers and people involved.
When I stopped by an inventory sale at a yarn factory when I lived in the U.S., I was amazed at the enormous amount of apparel leftover yarn, and since the quality was good, I decided to use it by hand-weaving that could be used up without waste even in small lots that could not be used on factory machines. At first, I asked an old lady at a yarn shop in my neighborhood to teach me how to stretch the yarn, and from there I worked on the development of hand-woven tweed and other original designs, and now I mainly use leftover yarn from knitwear factories in Japan. When it comes to apparel yarns, most of them are gentle to the touch, such as glitter yarn.
As for costume jewelry, I originally came across vintage bijoux from Europe and the United States at a vintage warehouse in New York, where I had been going in and out of the company when I started making accessories using beads. As I looked at it, an idea came to me, and I sent the design drawing I drew to an atelier within walking distance of it, and a local designer taught me how to make jewelry. Thanks to the free and bold teachings that Japan do not have, there is a current style of work that does not fit into the frame and gives shape to what you envision.
How can I use this material to get the most out of it?
Regardless of the trend, will you like it all the time? Looking at it now, are you thrilled yourself?
While asking these questions, I design and produce each piece.
