Hand knitted suminagashi vest

This vest features a had done.Suminagashi design- a form of aqueous surface design. This method originated in Japan as early as the 12th century. Suminagashi on textiles is like painting on water, transferring the intricate ink patterns onto fabric. It creates flowing, one-of-a-kind designs, requiring careful precision for a beautiful outcome. This process is done entirely by hand and can result in slight variations on the garment (which makes it more unique)

This garment is made of 100% cotton yarn and features a monochromatic design, trimmed with black ribbing. This vest has been hand knitted by local artisans in the Eastern Cape.
