History

Established in 2012.

Textiles tell a story. Long ago, patterns had meaning. Cloth was hand-​woven and dyes were seasonal. Each scrap of fabric brought back a time and place. We cycled through seasons, not trends. We made memories, not mass produced goods.

Then we began to lose touch with tradition. We stopped treasuring our clothes. At Kiriko, we believe fabric is everything. We searched Japan for centuries-​old denim, hand-​dyed shibori, and vibrant kasuri. Our scarves and ties showcase traditional craftsmanship and care.

Wear them. Love them. Hand them down.
