TRACES paper jacket
TRACES paper jacket
Introducing our extraordinary Paper Jacket, a product of two visionary projects - Materia Bruta and Traditional Futures. Materia Bruta focuses on crafting garments from bio-based materials, while Traditional Futures preserves and modernizes traditional heritage. Together, they brought this remarkable piece to life.
Through a harmonious collaboration with Japanese traditional papermakers near Kyoto, we have woven the past and present into a jacket that embodies rare and disappearing knowledge. Working with these skilled artisans has been a true honor, allowing us to cherish their expertise and preserve it for generations to come.
Crafted exclusively from Mulberry tree fibers, renowned for their exceptional strength and softness, the paper used in this jacket is truly remarkable. Once reserved for crafting garments in Japan's Edo period, it now graces this contemporary masterpiece.
Embrace tradition, sustainability, and ingenuity with our one-of-a-kind Paper Jacket - a living testament to the past and a stride towards a more sustainable future.
