Boro (襤褸) refers to a traditional Japanese textile practice that involves patching, mending, and reinforcing worn-out clothing and fabrics — often using indigo-dyed cotton scraps — to extend their life. The word means "tattered" or "ragged" in Japanese, but today it's celebrated as a beautiful example of wabi-sabi (“beauty in imperfection”) and sustainable living.
Studio D’Arisan’s jacquard-woven raglan jacket is a fabric-forward ode to this very tradition. It features a vast array of woven, beaded, and knurled textures — all of which provide the perfect canvas for the Studio’s careful dorozome (mud-dyeing) techniques.
Each jacket is individually hand-overdyed on Japan’s Amami Ōshima island. Here, a slow and meticulous layering of natural plant- and bark-based dyes creates a nuanced blend of dark, earthy browns that cannot be achieved through synthetic dye techniques. The addition of sashiko-embroidered sleeves and pockets imparts further textural contrast. Over time, the dorozome topcoat will wear and fade, revealing the rich boro and sashiko textures beneath — a beautiful interplay of cloth, colour, and craft.
Finished with an antique brass central zipper and side cinch adjusters.
