PRODUCT DETAILS

This brooch reconstructs the "blank spaces" and "edges" that inevitably arise during the production process, giving them new value.
He refocuses on materials that have outlived their usefulness, finishing them as one-of-a-kind pieces that combine chance and handcrafted craftsmanship.
Although it is decorative, we value the product's background and the feeling of wearing it over time.

Material

Made from denim scraps generated during the production process.
The flower corsages and tassels are made from reconstructed denim fabric, making use of the individual differences in the material.
The antique beads we use include goose egg shells and glass beads made in the early to mid-1900s.

Processing

Denim scraps are cut and shaped into flower motifs and tassels, which are then handcrafted one by one.
All combinations of beads and strings are assorted, and no two pieces are the same.
By leaving the aging and distortion of the material itself, we emphasize differences in appearance rather than uniformity.

Silhouette

Brooch design based on a safety pin.
The construction creates a swaying and overlapping effect, adding a natural movement when worn.
The impression changes depending on the item you attach it to, such as clothing or a bag.

Background Story

This product was created by combining scrap wood that would have been discarded with antique beads collected from across time and places.
Beads are mainly found in India and Nepal, each with its own unique background and time period.
This is a one-of-a-kind item that is unique to this assortment, and is a direct expression of the accumulation of chance and memories.
