At Indigo Union, we are proud to unveil our signature piece for the 2024 Fall/Winter season: the Indigo Dye Patchwork Sashiko Kendo Coat. This jacket exemplifies the pinnacle of artisanal craftsmanship, standing out with its unique style and meticulous handwork.
Handmade Excellence
Our Indigo Dye Patchwork Sashiko Kendo Coat is a product of extensive handmade craftsmanship. Every step of its creation, from dyeing the threads to assembling the intricate boro patchwork, is done by skilled artisans. This approach ensures that no machines or mass production methods are involved, setting it apart from the fast fashion industry. Each coat is a labor of love, made with dedication and attention to detail that machine-made items simply cannot replicate.
A Fusion of Tradition and Innovation
This remarkable piece features various kendo fabrics—normal, stripe, and oval shapes—woven from high-quality cotton. By integrating these different fabric shapes, we enhance the jacket’s visual and textural depth, creating a garment that is as unique as it is stylish. Additionally, the threads are dyed before applying the sashiko stitching, ensuring that each stitch contributes to a rich, uniform color.
A Palette of Indigo
We have utilized three distinct shades of indigo dye to breathe life into this jacket. The interplay of these colors accentuates the detailed sashiko stitching and highlights the distinctive textures of the kendo fabrics, creating a harmonious and striking appearance.
Intricate Boro Patchwork
The layered boro patchwork is a standout feature of the coat. Each piece is meticulously assembled with kendo fabric, showcasing our commitment to high-quality craftsmanship. This patchwork not only adds depth and character but also ensures that each jacket is a unique piece of art.
A Retro Touch
In keeping with our goal to blend tradition with innovation, we’ve incorporated a retro touch in certain areas of the coat. This subtle nod to vintage design enhances the jacket’s uniqueness and creates a timeless yet contemporary look.
Against Fast Fashion
In an era dominated by fast fashion, the Indigo Dye Patchwork Sashiko Kendo Coat stands as a testament to the value of slow, thoughtful craftsmanship. We pride ourselves on creating pieces that defy the norms of mass production, focusing instead on quality, sustainability, and artistry. Each jacket represents a commitment to excellence and a rejection of the ephemeral nature of fast fashion.
The Indigo Dye Patchwork Sashiko Kendo Coat is more than just a jacket; it’s a celebration of artisanal craftsmanship and sustainable fashion. As the centerpiece of our 2024 F/W collection, it embodies Indigo Union’s dedication to quality, style, and enduring value.
