Developed around their vision of life. A tribute to Japanese Samurai and aesthetically inspired by the warrior armour. Honouring codes of ritual, dedication and respect, this collection perpetuates craftsmanship using traditional weaving, cross-stitching and hand-knotting techniques on leather skins and silks. It is a contemporary collection which reinterprets ancestral clothes. Ultimately, armour to conquer the present.
