Design & Craftsmanship

Design

Nishijin weaving has been recognised for centuries for its beauty and detail. The entire process takes place over many stages, each exacted by expert craftspeople from Kyoto.

Creating the pattern is the first and perhaps most crucial step in the designing of Nishijin textile. The patterns are created using traditional techniques and are adapted to modern taste and sensibilities. Once the pattern has been developed, a colour-schemed digital template is created as the blueprint for textile production.
