Sara Sakanaka’s way of unpicking the past to sew new seeds for the future is communicated through one-of-a-kind pieces hand-stitched from Japanese silk kimonos. Given the limited width of these textiles – measuring at just 14 inches – she must unravel them before skilfully engineering to create a cohesive whole. This robe, which is stitched, numbered and signed by hand, takes approximately 80 hours to make, utilising fabric sourced from 1930s-1960s Japan. Inside, find her signature in the form of a handmade pressed flower, an emblem inspired by her grandmother’s love of chrysanthemums.

Meet the Maker:
Considered Objects
Sara Sakanaka worked as a designer for 15+ years before she established Considered Objects – a project guided by her experience growing up in Los Angeles in a first-generation Japanese family. During childhood, she was encouraged to create new things from old treasures, giving new meaning to the pieces that pepper our daily lives. As a result, her process is slow and measured, and she devotes countless hours to unthreading her kimonos panel by panel, preserving and documenting every stitch before re-engineering them with the original details, seams and soul of the original in mind. Every step is kept in her two hands, from the selecting to the finishing, while hidden details await that capture the emotional, nostalgic value she sews into every one-of-a-kind design.
