Wishing crafting culture prosperity

八(Hachi) Number 8 in Japanese means prosperity and infinity. We believe as a clothing maker this is our way of spreading the Japanese culture.

Sashiko 刺し子

Sashiko is an ancient Japanese stitching technique for mending clothes, developed by working-class people during the Edo period. It’s a form of upcycling, making garments stronger and lasting longer.
