About Kaori Yatsumoto

Having learnt dress making and designs in London, Kaori specialises in women's clothing including fabric manipulation such as pleating, ruching and draping. She rediscovered the beauty of old Japanese Kimono and Obi, and actively upcycles these vintage fabrics.

Kaori taught herself indigo dyeing using an sustainable/eco freindly method, and particularly enjoys shibori dyeing, a technique that involves folding, bunching, or bundling fabric and dyeing it with indigo dye. 

Her creation extends to upcycled clothing, hats and bags, as well as indigo-dyed apparel and accessories. You can view them here too.
