Triple O
Japanese Designer & Traditional Kimono Belt Textile Makers
THIS IS JEWELLERY THAT COMBINES TWO NATURAL MATERIALS-SILK & LINEN. ITS DEVELOPMENT STARTED WITH CREATING ORIGINAL THREADS. IT’S BLENDED WITH FRENCH LINEN THAT HAS A FINE TEXTURE CULTIVATED IN THE NORMANDY REGION OF FRANCE & LUSTROUS SILK AT A RATIO OF 6:4.
Designed by Yoichi Katakura and made by traditional kimono belt textile makers. With only linen, it would be scratchy, and it would not be suitable for a necklace. They mixed the silk in order to tailor a smooth texture with a light lustre to it. Neither the silk nor linen are dyed, making use of the colour of the material itself. Silk white overlaps the original linen’s greyish beige.
