Yoko Sakamoto
Tokyo, Japan
Made In Japan
Design, developed, and made all within the borders of Japan. YS hopes that if they can convey the skills of the artisans involved in our work in the best possible way, it will lead to the creation of products that will enrich the wearer's life and allow them to enjoy them for a long time.
Materials for life
Yoko believes that by creating designs that do not interfere with the nature of the materials and silhouettes, we can make the most of their original qualities of the materials.
Each season Yoko Sakamoto designs new unique materials from scratch in close relationship with a small network of factories.
Using leathers, high density cottons, wools, hemps, ramie, linens, and more are used each season.
Designing garments and accessories that show a true expression of the material and only get better with age.
Natural Dye House
Since brining in Yoko Sakamoto we have been so drawn to their use of natural dyes. Done in a small factory in Kyoto, each season yoko chooses timeless designs to be included in the natural dye program.
Using old japanese techniques and ingredients like Kakishibu, indigo, sumi ink, Zakuru, Yellow Ochre, and more
The dyes and how they are achieved give the garment a truly one of a kind look and feel that is unique to each wearer.
Only getting better with age.
