N° 44 falling flower tie - ame pink - S

A singular botanical study, hand-sculpted into a long strand of falling flowers from preserved Japanese silk kimonos and reclaimed archival textiles, each flower hand-sewn onto grosgrain ribbon.  

Constructed from layered kimono remnants and raw textile fringe, each piece captures the soft downward drape and fluid motion of a bloom in mid-fall.  Hand-stitched with pure silk thread, the piece reveals subtle variations in tone, natural slubs, and raw-edge finishes.

I work without industrial factory molds or patterns, cutting and shaping every petal one by one. This slow, labor-intensive work carries forward a family tradition of giving damaged historical textiles new life.  

These preserved textiles exist in small, unrepeatable lengths. Some fabrics yield a limited run; others yield only a single flower, and once a specific fabric is used, it can never be replaced. Subtle shifts in grain, aged patina, and organic drape ensure that every piece remains singular.

Details & Craft

• Process: Each petal is cut, hand-sculpted, and hand-stitched one by one in my New York Studio; zero machine stamping.

• Finish: Raw edge detailing throughout, celebrating the natural fraying and softening of aging silk. 

• Construction: Flowers are hand-sewn onto grosgrain ribbon; the strand can be worn as a necklace, tied into hair, or wrapped around the wrist. 

Dimensions 

• Total length: 48"

• Each flower measures 3.5" x 3.5" (size S) 

Edition: 1/1 Singular Object

Material Care

Aged wear and subtle shifts in texture are part of the silk's history, not a defect.  Slight fraying over time is a natural characteristic of raw-edge vintage textiles.  Spot clean only when necessary, and gently reshape the petals by hand as needed.
