Shibori is the Japanese art of resist-dyeing. Material, traditionally silk, is bound with thread, dyed, then heat set to create striking effects.

Bunzaburo is a third generation shibori workshop in Kyoto.  Each piece by them is a demonstration of meticulous craft and a unique work of art.  Still photographs barely begin to represent the lively dance of these pieces.

Motion’s 100% cotton mesh tees are a fantastic layer year round. Add colour without weight. Layer them up and they become opaque.

Neeru Kumar is leading the revival of traditional Indian textile arts. Her hand-woven shawls, primarily in fine silk, are rich in colour and texture. They are a statement of sophisticated craft and design.

Tamaki Niime revels in colour. Her pieces, primarily cotton, some of it grown around her factory deep in the countryside of Japan, are glorious to behold. Her gauze scarves, in 3 sizes, woven on vintage cast-iron looms, represent a thoroughly contemporary Japanese aesthetic.  We first carried her scarves but now too, the selection has grown to include a great arm warmer, sweaters, skirts, and more. Think gift.

Oska’s technical knit is a high-performance jersey. It resists wrinkling because of its high elastane content and feels good in all weather. Great classic pieces for travel.
