Kintsugi Inspires Modern Accessories

The ancient Japanese art of Kintsugi has inspired a new line of modern accessories. This technique of repairing broken pottery with gold or silver lacquer has been applied to handbags and jewelry. For instance, the ‘Golden Stitch’ handbag features a gold-lacquered scar, symbolizing the beauty of imperfection. Available in limited quantities, these unique pieces will be showcased at the upcoming Tokyo Fashion Week, starting on March 15th.
