THE AUTUMN ALCHEMYđ COLLECTION: WEARABLE TEXTILE ART
 Shibori Brooch Heritage StatementđŤ
Every brooch within the Autumn Alchemy Collection is constructed upon a foundation of rare, pristine Vintage Japanese Kanoko Shibori Silk. from master-woven, meticulously preserved heirloom textiles, this fabric represents an elite pinnacle of traditional artistic craftsmanship.
A specialized form known as Kyo-kanoko shibori developed in Kyoto during the Edo period and remains a symbol of high-end craftsmanship, frequently used on luxury kimonos.
Unlike modern, mass-produced machine prints, authentic Kanoko Shibori is a multi-dimensional artistic process. Each individual, raised geometric knob is carefully gathered, pinched, and tightly bound by hand before entering the dye bath. When the ties are released, it leaves a permanent, highly structural three-dimensional texture that catches and transforms natural daylight as you move.Â
Hand-sculpted over a wool padded 2.-inch diameter coconut shell core, these brooches possess an exquisite depth of color and tactile presence that elevates them entirely into the realm of museum-grade fine art. A little sculpture to wear.
