With the seasons and weather changes, we often see women wearing a variety of fashionable scarves as an added fashion item to keeping them warm. Even if it isn't freezing outside but you want just something light when it's chilly out, makes not only scarfs but shawls a MUST HAVE item for many.
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, “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.
Koma aoyama’s Popular Shawls: Best 3
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:
② Mucc Denim Collection
③ Mesh Collection
Although a shawl is still a shawl,
each collection has its particularity.
The Mashma Collection is adored for its sober appearance but
especially for the softness of the fabric
which is smooth like a marshmallow!
Also perfect for warming you up,
you can easily store it in your bag until you need it.
The shawls in this collection are light,
but since cashmere is included it retains heat well
and remains durable.

Silk 60% · Cashmere 40%
In a very different fashion,
the Mucc Collection uses denim as its source of fabric.
Despite what you may think the denim shawls are very gentle.
The denim gives a unique and vintage look,
and compared to other Koma aoyama collections,
you feel like you're being bundled up nicely.
The overall style of the shawl looks great with any sort of fashion coordination.
