YS Wool Long Scarf
Yoko Sakamoto Wool Long Scarf, made from 100% brushed wool.
This generously sized stole is woven from a blend of colorful spun-top yarns on traditional looms at a historic mill in Bishu, Japan. The merino wool spun-top yarn is not twisted, but rather intertwined using a technique called air corlak, where air pressure is used to combine three different colored yarns. This process preserves the softness of the individual yarns, resulting in a stole with a wonderfully airy, fluffy texture, excellent warmth retention, and a voluminous drape. Each stole features a total of six colors, achieved by blending three colors in both the warp and weft.
Yoko Sakamoto started her unisex brand in 2016. The designer emphasizes to bring the nature of the material to life in her clothing; designing clothing without interfering the original qualities and properties of the materials and the silhouette. She values actual wearing comfort while focusing on craftsmanship and manual procedures for designs, which result in her distinctive and unique style.
Having met Yoko personally in Tokyo in the Summer of 2024, it confirmed my feelings that her vision and values fully align with how I approach garments at Store Du Nord. Seeking a timeless elegance, working with traditional craftsmen and creating garments which elevate your persona.
