Description
This signature Cord Embroidery Vest from Japanese designer brand Mame Kurogouchi features a unique embroidery technique, where a single linen cord is used to create intricate embroidery in one continuous motion. The cord embroidery, updated for this season, combines plant and lattice patterns for a refreshed design. The wood-beaded drawstring system at the back serves both as a functional closure and a striking design element. The vest’s compact length is perfect for layering over tops or dresses, instantly transforming your look. Both functional and artisanal, this piece is a fashion statement worthy of being cherished like a work of art.
The Mame Kurogouchi 2024 Fall/Winter collection, titled “Fragments,” continues the theme from the previous season by exploring the 16th-century Old Karatsu ceramics* of Saga Prefecture*. Designer Maiko Kurogouchi weaves the natural colors, rich textures, and unique patterns of Karatsu ware into the concept of “wearable ceramics,” symbolizing a journey through time.
