ORIGIN Japan

Founded in 1921, Fujix created silk threads for sewing silk garments. This hand sewing thread has been made with strength and composition originally to sew kimono, but have been a reliable and much-loved thread to use on domestic projects worldwide for decades now. See Sewing Needles here.

Borrowing from the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with gold alloy, we’ve developed a kintsugi for clothing practice as a way to cherish and extend the life of our favourite garments by visible mending with gold thread.
