Considered Objects x Kuwano Home x wAi wAi
Formed through wAi wAi, which curates joyfully conscious goods rooted in Japanese craftsmanship, this release pairs Kuwano’s master hanten construction with my hand-stitched details.
These padded coats and scarves, made from soft Kurume crepe and finished with antique Nishijin silk thread, offer quiet, wearable warmth, each piece bearing the distinct mark of human hands and traditional Japanese craft.
Flower Accessories
I've been making these flowers from the smallest pieces of silk I have left over.
I cut and stitch each one by hand from vintage kimono textiles and other reclaimed silk. No two are exactly alike.

Commissions
I take on commissions, from custom garments and textile works to repairs, embellishment, and reworking existing pieces. I develop each project through conversation, design, and handwork in the studio.
Considered Objects is my ongoing textile practice based in New York City.
I work with vintage and antique silk kimonos, reclaimed textiles, and existing garments to make one-of-one clothing, accessories, and textile works.
My work is made slowly and by hand. I'm interested in what happens when we look at something familiar again. An old textile, a scrap, or a garment that might otherwise be discarded can become something worth keeping.
