Deep indigo stripes run through this partially unstitched boro cloth, woven from traditional Japanese striped cotton. Once part of a women's kimono, the textile now exists in a half-disassembled state, its seams loosened to reveal the raw structure beneath.

The material is 100% cotton. This is a used item, and its frayed edges and worn patches are consistent with genuine vintage boro cloth.

Boro reflects the historic Japanese practice of saving, mending, and repurposing textiles to extend their life across generations.
