Sakiori Revival: Handcrafted Heritage Handbag

Sakiori Revival: Handcrafted Heritage Handbag

Yumiko’s Handmade Sakiori Pouches
Tradition woven into every thread.

Sakiori is a traditional Japanese weaving technique that dates back to the Edo period. It involves carefully tearing old, well-loved cloth into thin strips and weaving them into something entirely new—giving forgotten fabrics a second life as clothing or everyday essentials.

Originally practiced by farm women during the off-season, this craft reflects a deep-rooted cultural value: to cherish materials and use them to their fullest.

Each pouch is made using cotton warp yarns and sakiori-style weft, creating a fabric that is not only strong and warm, but also softens beautifully with use. No two pieces are alike—each one tells its own story through its texture and color.

裂き織りとは、江戸時代の織物の一種で、古くなった布を細く裂いて織り、衣服や日用品に生まれ変わらせたものである。農閑期に農家の女工たちが行うこの手仕事は、古布という必ずしも安くはないものを再利用し、"使い切る "ことで物を大切に扱う風習から生まれた。 縦糸に綿糸、横糸に裂き織りを使うことで、丈夫で暖かく、使い込むほどに柔らかくなる織物が生まれる。
