AMIKUSA

I was introduced to this Japanese stole label through a mutual connection with its designer, Yoko Yamazaki. The unique crocheted details on the stoles intrigued me, and I loved the material, a supersoft cashmere sourced directly from India’s Kashmir region, which ensures authenticity and quality. With Amikusa, Yoko hopes to raise awareness of the quality of this wool while helping Kashmiri artisans market their products globally and elevate their livelihood. She personally hand-crochets the ends of her stoles to protect them from wear, which also gives them a unique and clean aesthetic.
