I finally convinced myself to get this incredible piece into the shop and figured I’d make it a little more fun for myself by getting a really good look at the craft and skill that went into making it. And WOW! The patience and dedication of the person who created this work of art...beyond words.

You won't find a pair of 19th-century tabi like these at any cool & trendy fashion boutique. Though I'm sure we all can think of a few brands that owe these old soles a very special thank-you note. 🫶

Enjoy a moment with the skill and mastery that went into creating this beautiful Moroccan Fez embroidery textile. I sit in awe of the human hand that crafted this lovely 2,300 sq. inch geometric work of art over a century ago in northwest Africa. Just marvelous.

Boro is when repairs become the #textile. This late-Meiji Japanese #indigo futon cover (c.1900) shows what repair can become over generations. Every true #boro textile is as unique as the stories behind it. So happy I got to spend time with this lovely piece. My studio feels different without it.

I learn so much by studying closeup swatches like these. Not just about vintage fabric techniques & traditions, but also what feels to me like the timeless practice of letting go.
