Scarfs are usually the more popular item to buy, however, with the delicacy and more functional purpose of shawls, they are now becoming a popular fashion item here in Japan. Unlike the scarf, thanks to the material and rectangular cut of the shawls, various ways of wearing it are possible. Even in modest fashion, one shawl can change your look drastically.
 

Japan's Fashionable Area, Aoyama

When talking about "Tokyo's fashion district", Aoyama is one of the top places to be mentioned.
In the middle of Harajuku and Omotesando, Aoyama is not only a favorite for locals but full of foreign tourists from various countries.
Today's article is about introducing a specialty shawl store that sells beautiful and one of a kind MADE IN JAPAN shawls.
This special store is called, Koma aoyama.
  • Koma aoyama is located in the fashionable Aoyama.

  • Koma aoyama's in-store environment.

  • Tools for textile shawls.

Koma aoyama, "An Artisanal Production in the Traditions of the Past"

Unlike big brands using completely industrialized production methods, Koma aoyama continues to perpetuate traditions using artisanal weaving methods. Each thread is chosen with care in order to create shawls with the irreproachable quality. Soft to the touch, this work of artisans results in unique products containing finesse and ease of use. 
It is a concept that yarn and thread gently overlap without forcibly pulling. Thanks to that, if you have a little hole or dent, gently stroke the thread, and it will return to its original form. Actually, since this low-speed weaving loom machine isn't manufactured anymore, craftsmen make the shawls directly by hand which requires skills obtained from many years of experience.

It may be obvious, but not all shawls are the same. Depending on what materials are combined and how it's weaved, you get different distinctions and designs. It can be quite difficult to choose which shawl will perfect you, which is why we've decided to present you 3 collections which makes the success of Koma aoyama:
