Not sure if this is a version of Trip Around the World or not. Anybody know the name? I saw a similar one on this site a while ago and it inspired me to start one of my own. I have a long way to go on it, but I love the way it's turning out.
Kiriko, Portland, Oregon
From Kiriko's Web site:
Kiriko is a lifestyle brand forged from the spirit of Mottainai (勿体無い); a Japanese value that embraces one to waste nothing and recycle everything.
Long ago, cloth was hand-woven with patterns that held meaning and dyed with materials available through the seasons. In this way we cycled with the seasons, not trends. We made memories with our belongings instead of replace them with mass produced goods. When we began to lose touch with the tradition of making in this way, we stopped treasuring our clothes.
"We believe fabric is everything."
We are always searching Japan for vibrant Kasuri - both vintage and those made today in craft houses generations’ old, hand-dyed Shibori, and centuries old Boros. Our apparel and accessories display the incredible traditional craftsmanship and care small textile factories in Japan boast. By purchasing our products, you are not only helping Kiriko Made as a small emerging brand, but also all the factories in Japan that create the materials we are fortunate enough to use.
Wear them, love them, and hand them down.

The Universe is a case of recurring patterns and winning formulas. This principle is not bound by the concept of scale for the idea of a scale is merely the result of our perspective on the fabric.
