Originally from Japan, 
​With a background in dressmaking and design from London, I specialise in apparel with a focus on intricate fabric techniques such as ruching, pleating, and draping. After the birth of my child, I launched KOCOKIDS, a children’s line filled with fun and colorful materials. Now that my little one is growing up, I’m excited to reintroduce my adult collection. In the process, I’ve rediscovered the rich culture of my homeland and begun upcycling vintage kimono and obi (traditional Japanese sashes) to create modern, stylish pieces. I also taught myself the art of indigo dyeing (aizome) and now hand-dye clothing and accessories in our London garden. My passion is blending traditional Japanese craftsmanship with contemporary designs, offering you unique, modern apparel that incorporates elements of Japanese heritage—perfect for daily wear.
