Sakiori

Sakiori is a traditional Japanese weaving technique that transforms old or worn fabric into new, durable textiles. It involves unraveling strips of fabric and then weaving them together tightly to create a new cloth. This method not only recycles fabric, reducing waste, but also produces unique, textured textiles with a vintage appearance. Sakiori reflects sustainability and craftsmanship, blending resourcefulness with artistic skill, and has been valued in Japan for centuries as a way to repurpose material creatively and efficiently.
