This is a vintage garment and signs of wear, mending, and slight marks are unique to this piece. Full disclosure: there is no suggestion of affiliation or sponsorship between the upcycler and the brand owner, and no such relationship is implied or intended.

The art of mending to prolong the life of a garment or object is at the heart of what we do. In our Winchester studio we use a mix of Sashiko and Boro techniques. Sashiko stitch is an antidote to the fast fashion world. It is used to reinforce points of wear on a garment and to repair worn places or tears with patches - creating Boro.  The running stitch is also used for decorative purposes. Textiles stitched and repaired in this way can be said to embrace the concept of ‘Wabi Sabi'.
