Get started with the art of Sashiko and give your clothes a second life.
Discover Japanese Sashiko embroidery, an ancient technique that is simple, graphic and deeply soothing. This introductory kit enables you to make a textile patch, ideal for repairing a garment or personalising it with elegance.
Through the repetition of the stitch and the finesse of the patterns, Sashiko invites us to slow down and reconnect with textiles, in an approach that is both aesthetic and sustainable.

This kit is ideal for a gentle introduction to Sashiko and a first practical project: a patch to sew onto a damaged garment or to transform as you wish.
The spirit of Sashiko
Born in Japan, Sashiko was originally a technique for repairing and reinforcing textiles. Today, it embodies a philosophy of simple, repetitive, and meditative gestures, where each stitch contributes to the beauty of the whole.
