Keiko and I try to make a living by Sashiko. Therefore, most of the Sashiko item

Keiko and I try to make a living by Sashiko. Therefore, most of the Sashiko items we share are for sale. Jackets, Bags, pieces of fabric with Sashiko, 90% of the items have a price tag (or we can put the price on it). I had prioritized my work on offering Sashiko supplies on busy days (under Covid-19 and stay-at-home father). When I have more time, I will introduce each piece with sizing, pricing, and with more photos.

For jackets, we can make only a few of these every year. Every stitch is hand-stitched. Thanks to many customers, most of the jackets/bags are sold. However, since every jacket is hand-made, we can make a similar one (if it is made with vintage fabrics, then we will try our best to make it “similar”). I am happy to have your inquiry for the estimate & detail designing. We do work for “custom tailored Jacket/bag” and commission as well (Stitching on the denim is temporary unavailable).

I welcome an inquiry about pricing and availability. However, please be serious & considerate when you contact me. Every stitch is hand-stitched. We use the best materials available – including Natural Dye. It takes months to make one piece. Each Jacket is one of a kind. A Sashiko jacket will not have a price tag of a mass-produced jacket. Based on work, more than 500 (or more) hours will be spent into one jacket. An inquiry expecting a jacket to be a few hundreds usd is pretty sad… So your understanding is much appreciated before sending me an inquiry. (The Jacket on the photo is about $3,000 USD with about 8 months of production time).

3年前の配信でも全く同じ事を話しているように、刺し子を通した僕の想いには、一貫した大切な願いがあります。それは、「想像力を持って欲しい」ということ。何かを書く前に。何かに反応する前に。何か行動を起こす前に。「”これをしたら”どうなるんだろう？」と少しの間で良いので、想像力を使って欲しいんです。スピードが成功の大前提の現代では、想像力よりも創造力が大事とされて、立ち止まる機会が無いような気がするんですよね。だからこそ刺し子。刺し子してる時は、両手塞がるので、考えを巡らせることができて、結果的に立ち止まり、想像力を実感できる瞬間になると思うのです。

僕たちが作る刺し子作品には全て値札がつきます。なんとか刺し子だけで生計を立てられたらと思っているので。でも、その値段の裏には、何百時間という作業があることも想像してほしいのです。全刺しのジャケット、数万円では販売してませんよ……。（英語圏でよくあるんです、そういう問い合わせが。）
