Chitose Boiled Wool Bolero

This shawl-collar bolero features an artistic depiction of a free-spirited bird, brought to life through intricate knitting techniques. The fringe and line detailing at the hem add a touch of elegance and charm.

The wool, spun on traditional spinning wheels that clatter softly as they work, has a delightful uneven texture reminiscent of hand-spun yarn. The yarns are gathered together, much like a bundle of colorful candy sticks, and paired with kasuri-dyed threads to create a rich, heartwarming palette.

Through repeated fulling in a washing machine, the fabric takes on a textured, slightly rustic finish that evokes a sense of nostalgia. This soft, cozy material holds plenty of warmth, making it as comforting as it is stylish. The bolero embodies 45R’s commitment to Japanese craftsmanship and timeless design.
