Garments are cut in a single one-size fit meant to drape rather than follow the body, so the shape you get depends on how you wear and wash it.
The line works almost entirely in natural linen and cotton, with garment and natural dyeing producing muted colour that reads worn-in from the start.
Production stays in Japan across four collections a year, and distribution is wholesale-led through independent boutiques like Namu Shop, rennes and Oroboro.
