Boro

Boro is a type of Japanese textile that has been mended or patched together. Boro was predominately clothing worn by the peasant farming classes, who mended their garments with spare fabric scraps out of economic necessity. In many cases, the usage of such a boro garment would be handed down over generations, eventually resembling a patchwork after decades of mending.

We have used the concept of boro to create some t-shirts and other pieces of clothing, all of which are, of course, one-offs. We use off cuts and small pieces of indigo and cutch dyed shibori as patches. The process is slow work finding the right pieces and sewing them together.
