Wabi-Sabi

Category: Apparel

This design is inspired by Wabi-Sabi the Japanese art of finding beauty within the imperfections. The design makes use of off-cut leather pieces patched together alongside the use of an cow hide. This design is then also inspired by the ancient art of Kintsugi , the art of mending the broken with gold. This is represented in the patching of the off cut leather pieces with gold thread, decorative topstitching and the use of gold zips.
