Studio D'Artisan "Indigo Noragi Sashiko" S/S Work Shirt

Seeking to recreate the beautiful and intricate patchwork patterns seen in the past, Studio D’Artisan have created their latest “Indigo Noragi Sashiko” collection by creating a proprietary jacquard weave featuring various fabrics and a vertical/horizontal Sashiko stitch running through ought. The fabric is woven from two different indigo-dyed slub yarns, giving it a depth and uneven texture that recalls fabrics passed down through generations of wear. Variation in stitch direction and Sashiko patterning mimics the natural irregularities of handwork, lending the fabric a sense of intimacy and authenticity. To further this lived-in quality, the cloth undergoes a high-temperature tumbler finish, introducing controlled shrinkage and setting the stage for a rich three-dimensional texture that will evolve uniquely with time.

Each piece of the “Noragi Sashiko” collection seeks to pay homage to the craftsmanship and care given to traditional Japanese clothing from a bygone era.
