I highly recommend participating in a Christmas Kimono Bauble workshop?
(doesn’t have to be christmas actually – you could use it however you like)
The baubles are made of repurposed kimono. They are great for kids or adults.
*This is not a sponsored post or anything. Just something we did that was really special and fun.
The workshops are run by Victoria of BikuDesigns.
Her studio is located in Shimokitazawa, Tokyo.
BikuDesigns creates truly unique pieces for a living! She uses vintage kimono fabrics and repurposes them into stunning pieces of jewellery. These make the ideal gift or Japan memento for some self-gifting too!
The best way to see, hunt down and contact Bikudesigns is via her Bikudesigns instagram (to follow and stay up-to-date with their movements, pop-up shops and new pieces. ) Go here to start shopping on the Bikudesigns website .
She also has the most lovely youtube channel called “Studio Biku.”
