Made from vintage Japanese boro textiles, the Waste Not collection honors the tradition of giving cloth another life. Once patched, mended, and preserved rather than discarded, these timeworn fabrics carry their history in every stitch, fade, and imperfection. Reimagined once more, no two are alike.
