What is Nishijin fabric?


Lots of my accessories are made from Nishijin fabric.

Nishijin fabric is only available in Kyoto, Japan.

It originated more than 1000 years ago. The fabric is made from silk but the way it is woven is different to Chirimen silk - the thread is dyed before it is woven. As a result, colours come out richer than Chirimen.
