CONCEPT - BORO FOLK
INTENT
The Japanese BORO textiles are characterized by their patchwork design and visible mending techniques, which often use simple running stitches to hold the fabric pieces together.
The fabrics used in Boro textiles were typically cotton or hemp, and they were dyed with natural indigo to create a distinctive blue color.
Keeping these characteristics intact, this collection is designed majorly using
UPCYCLED JEANS PANTS,
JUTE YARN & FABRICS,
