Ready To Wear
Let’s create your hand crafted garment together! Our timeless designs are individually cut and made in sizes 6 – 26.
Browse through our garment styles and fabrics, choose your combination and our talented team will put together your creation.
Contact us to discuss any changes you may require such as length adjustments or a different colour top stitching. We know these things count!
We will work with you online or in person and keep you up to date on your garments progress.
Your Garment Begins With Your Design and Fabric Choice.
Our fabrics are 100% Japanese cotton. The manufacturer of our Japanese cottons has a reputation for quality as well as production practices that care for the environment. We will gradually add to our fabric selection so please keep in touch to hear about any new additions, which is always exciting!
From our small range you can combine prints or plains, discuss features and finishes with us and adjust garment lengths for your bespoke garment.
If you are a maker we will deliver the selected items you require for you to handcraft your own garments.
Patterns
For those who like to make their own clothes – this section is for you!
We have just added the first of our patterns – the cropped pants pattern! Buy the pattern alone or include a selection of fabrics to make your own Japonica pants. This pattern comes in sizes 6 – 26 and can be printed at home or at your local print shop in all sizes or your select size. Contact us if you have any questions.
On request we can arrange a workshop where we will make the pants together. A minimum of four people is required.
Let’s sew together!
