Sakiori is old thrift, given a new discipline.

Long before "sustainable" was a word anyone needed, Japanese weavers were tearing worn cloth, kimono silk gone soft with wear, cotton past its first life, into narrow strips and weaving them back into something whole.

Nothing was wasted because nothing could be.

The technique carries that memory in its name: saki, to tear; ori, to weave.
