YUKI FUJISAWA is a textile/design label founded in 2011 that creates new value in fashion through foil and dyeing. We use vintage materials with foil, dyeing, and lace to create works and products that are like art pieces that can be used to share the warm moments of your life.

"NEW VINTAGE"

A cherished vintage item from some country travels across the ocean, across time, through the hands of people, and is now in the hands of just one person, you.

“NEW VINTAGE” is a series that is like a story. ``Sweaters in Memories'', a representative work since the company's founding, began by purchasing vintage items, and after taking care of them, each piece was dyed and hand-printed with foil, and has passed into the hands of many people. Ta. The more you wear it, the more the foil will get used to it and the more its flavor will come out. Vintage one-of-a-kind items are handcrafted by designers who want people to enjoy the changes over time and make them their own.

This story that started with just one sweater has spread to dresses, sweatshirts, and tote bags, but they are like branches and leaves that are connected to the root of "NEW VINTAGE".

Knits woven with feelings

The existence of knits is created with as many stitches, as many steps, and as many people in mind. Designer Fujisawa continues to be inspired by Irish hand-knitted Aran knits. The beauty found in nature, such as the nets used by people who live with the sea, the beehives that bring fruit, and the plants that sprout, are woven together with a feeling of compassion for someone. The warmth of hand knitting cannot be created without someone else's handiwork. We aim to create products that transcend all boundaries by layering sparkles like strata on knits that are not only functional but also have a sense of warmth.

Jewelry that celebrates each beauty

Imagine it standing quietly in a flea market somewhere 100 years from now. A ring in the shape of YUKI FUJISAWA's treasured antique lace and earrings decorated with bold baroque pearls. From 2020, a jewelry series has started. The imperfect beauty of time-tested lace due to handiwork, and the traces created by pearls being a natural product, no two pieces are the same. ``New joy is born in the process of being hurt and healed, and a person becomes even more loving.'' We feel that beauty resides in the history etched in the traces and the distortions that each person has. Jewelry born from the idea of ​​``NEW VINTAGE'' fits the soft tips of your fingers and the gentle curve of your ears.

Repair and reweaving to depict the future of the story.

At YUKI FUJISAWA, we accept orders for foil repairs and repairs for holes and other damage so that you can enjoy ``changing with time.'' Once the items we create are in someone's hands, they create a new story. If you add foil to the scratches and scratches with a new mood, the next page will be added to the story. Starting in 2022, we will begin re-knitting your favorite sweaters as ``sweaters for the future'' of your memories. Because we work hard in our atelier, we hope to spend time with you so that you can use our products for many years to come.
