What is an Obi?
The obi is a wide, traditional Japanese belt worn with kimonos during ceremonies or special events. A true symbol of refinement, it is an essential element of traditional Japanese clothing. By repurposing obi scraps to create our caps, we offer you the opportunity to wear a piece of Japanese history, while giving new life to meaningful materials.
The Chōchō motif
The Chōchō pattern represents butterflies, a powerful symbol in Japanese culture. Chōchō (butterflies) are often associated with beauty, lightness, and transformation. They also embody the idea of renewal and metamorphosis, reflecting the passing of the seasons and the transience of life. In Japanese culture, butterflies are often seen as messengers of hope and change. On our cap, the Chōchō pattern brings a touch of elegance and fluidity, capturing the natural grace of these creatures while celebrating their fragile and poetic beauty.
