a doubly curious camellia oil gauze

Fabrics August 6, 2015 admin Leave a comment

we ordered these wonderful aqua bloom double gauzes from yuwa six months ago and they finally arrived! while we swoon over the delicate and lyrical watercolour florals, the magic is really in the cloth itself! The base cloth of these double gauzes features a camellia flower that has been woven into the cloth. What’s more the fabric has been treated with a proprietary “SmoothSkin” process, where camellia oil (also known as camellia japonica oil or tsubaki) is adhered to the fabric, giving it a soft…

we’re pretty smitten with Cotorienne! it’s Yuwa’s latest collaboration with the Anyan, a Japanese artist. “Cotorienne” is a coined word integrating several words and stories.”Cotori” means ‘a little bird’ in Japanese, which is such a dainty creature. “…ienne” is a suffix meaning ‘girl or woman’ in French, and ‘chic’ in Japanese. “Cotorienne” is a fabric brand which is free-minded like a little bird flitting through the sky. It produces a chic style in your life. Cotorienne is now available in our shop: Moon Rabbits Oasis…
