History:
Nestled in the textile-rich region of Hyogo, Japan, the brand Niime Tamaki is a testament to the enduring legacy of ‘Banshu-ori,’ a traditional Japanese weaving style that was developed in the 1700s and faced extinction in the mid-1980s. Designer, Tamaki Niime spearheaded its revival in 2006, breathing new life into this time-honored craft. In Niime’s quest for textiles that embody both history and sustainability, the designer went a step further by cultivating her own materials, including the organic cotton used for all of her pieces. Adjacent to her looms, a working field thrives, where the organic cotton takes root and flourishes, ensuring that the entire creative process of crafting Niime — from nurturing the cotton plant to dyeing the thread to weaving — are all done meticulously at the highest standards in one place.
