ORIGIN Japan
Founded in 1901, Daruma Yokota continues to produce one of the highest quality sewing threads in the world. They also make sewing needles of exceptional quality, designed to work beautifully with their threads. See Cotton Thread 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.
