Kiriko

Kiriko Made works out of Portland, Oregon, repurposing vintage Japanese cloth — indigo kasuri, stencil-dyed katazome, hand-dyed shibori and patched boro — into shirts, jackets, bandanas, scarves and small accessories. The team sources aged bolts and worn textiles in Japan, then cuts and patches around holes so flaws read as deliberate detail, following the mottainai principle of wasting nothing. Its downtown Portland shop pairs garments with Japanese homeware, ceramics and tea, and houses a kitchen space called Kokoro. Runs are small-batch and many pieces are one-of-a-kind.
