Takeyoshi STORY mfg.D+ Black Rose
$$250
Made in Japan.
The STORY mfg. Takeyoshi is custom made in Japan using District Vision Earth-Tech – a proprietary bio-material made from the cellulose of non-edible plant scraps. Earth-Tech is part of a closed-loop system, meaning the frame material is both biodegradable and recyclable for future use. The temple is inscribed with "movement is a blessing" in Arabic.
The included Sun Pouch is naturally dyed with babul bark, madder, iron and myrobalan, and hand crocheted in India. The collaborative label is block printed at a community block print unit at an Autism centre run by mothers in partnership with Tharangini Studio.
The gifted necklace is hand carved from soapstone, and finished with tulsi wood beads. The hangtag is handmade paper composed of cotton offcuts from STORY mfg. production that are too small to re-use in garments.
STORY mfg. was born out of a desire for a more authentic, fulfilling and kind approach to fashion – one that doesn't involve a trade-off between aesthetics and consciousness. They are a husband and wife team and work with a large group of dyers, weavers, embroiderers and tailors.
