Behind the Scenes: Tamaki Niime

Tamaki Niime never ceases to amaze with their craftsmanship!

This gorgeous V-neck cap sleeve dress is woven using Banshu-ori dyed wool and cotton yarn. The yarn is then threaded onto a large loom and hand woven. The waffle weave texture of the fabric is achieved using a combination of plain weave and long “warp and weft floats” (non-interlacing threads) that result in the raised square pattern. A beautiful and meticulous technique that provides added comfort and durability.

Tamaki Niime’s Winter Arrival

Tamaki Niime never ceases to amaze with her vibrant use of colour, pattern and form. Her design principles focus around  beauty, function, comfort and longevity. Each piece is created using a centuries old Japanese technique known as Banshu-ori.  During this process the natural yarns are dyed before they are woven which creates uniquely intricate layers of colour. We are honoured to announce the arrival of so many stunning new winter pieces! The perfect gift to give to yourself and everyone else on your list this year.
