Those amazing  works are by one of our customer, Laurent.
His stitching works are all in hand-sewn and hand-embroidered.

For those brown bags, he uses japanese sakabukuro, which is 
cotton bags used to filter raw sake and would end up 
dyed in a beautiful brown color leached from the persimmon tannin.
( I was given to know what about the sakebukuro from Laurent.)

LINNET Chambrey Inkberry


The fabric color is wonder.
There is the different image after made into garments.
 It has a different image from just the fabric itself.

LINNET Chambrey Inkberry is the yarn dyed fabric 
that is woven with two color yarns of vivid pink-red and purple.

It looks to have a storng character as a fabric,
but the tailored Chambrey Inkberry is going nicely 
with other clothing items in chic colores like gray and indig blue,black.

Organic Linen Suit


Rabbi Nahum Ben-Yehuda, our friend and a customer, sent us photos of nice suits made from our organic linen 'foglia', and also a tie from organic linen 'agate' (the image below).

Organic linen yarns for this fabric, are from Italian spinning company, and we are given to know that we are an only supplier in the world for providing fabrics made from those yarns, cut by meter.  So I believe this suit is the first tailored suit from this organic linen fabric!

Rabbi Nahum is a textile historian for Biblical and Talmudic heritage, and also a designer and craftman for linen. He works beautifully by with linen by himself. Now he teaches at the university in Israel, and he is the one of the ' ultra linen lover' whom I have met.

( Thank you so much Nahum!)
