Kintsugi Influences Modern Luxury Brands

The 2019 Met Gala saw a resurgence of kintsugi, an ancient Japanese art of repairing broken pottery. This influence has trickled down to modern luxury brands, with designers incorporating golden seams and fractured patterns into their designs. As of 2022, kintsugi-inspired pieces have been spotted on runways and in high-end boutiques.

With its emphasis on imperfection and beauty, kintsugi is redefining the luxury aesthetic.
