Reborn Fabric, Timeless Charm – Sakiori Pouch

Woven with care. Rooted in history.

Sakiori is a traditional Japanese weaving technique that dates back to the Edo period. It gives new life to old fabrics by tearing them into narrow strips and reweaving them into something beautifully functional—like this handmade pouch.

Originally practiced by farm women during the agricultural off-season, Sakiori reflects the spirit of mottainai—a deep cultural value of not letting anything go to waste. It’s about honoring materials by using them fully and thoughtfully.

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。

Using cotton yarn for the warp and recycled fabric strips for the weft, this pouch is durable, warm, and softens beautifully with use. Each one is entirely unique—handcrafted by Yumiko with care and creativity.
