This is an heirloom, rare cotton with extra-fine, extra-long strands, creating an extra sleek touch that’s infinitely breathable.

The Oversize Tote, cut from veg-tanned vachetta leather with a plant-dyed black finish. The tannins from plant roots and tree barks were used traditionally to cure leather, before mass tanning with heavy metals became standard. The clean finish of veg-tan also extends the leather life- it will never fall apart of crumble the way chrome-tanned leather does (chrome destroys the inner structure). In the black the color doesn’t change, but it will take on a shine with use, as natural oils of the skin buff it up.

We’re keeping artisan fashion alive. Vegetable-tanned shoes, chrome-free, plant-dyed. Made from scratch by a single artisan right here in LA. Artisans own the entire process from start to finish, whereas a factory-made shoe passes through several hands, which each worker specializing in only one step of the production line. The artisan result is a living piece with an incomparable essence. You have to experience in person to understand. Come by the studio for a fitting. taken in Los Angeles, California by @taka_studio_

The Crosscheck Suit was a limited edition run released this year. The fabric is an indigo hand block print on an 120g undyed cotton base. I sourced the fabric from India because of their rich heritage in block printing. Double-breasted unlined easy jacket and double pleated suit short. It can be found in Tokyo at L’Echoppe and our Los Angeles studio. taken in Los Angeles, California by @taka_studio_

The Crosscheck Suit/ Womens. Ultralight 90 gram Undyed cotton base with a hand-blocked Indigo check print. The hand-printing process allows for natural variations, revealing the idiosyncrasies of the handmade. For us this means harmony through irregularity versus uniformity. This suit was made as a limited edition, now available on the website, link in bio by @taka_studio_
