Indigo Awa Satin Pleats Smoking Blouse

This sustainable blouse is thoughtfully crafted by combining various square fabric pieces to minimize material waste.

To express the warmth and understated elegance of 45R, we chose millet satin—a lighter and more delicate fabric than rice satin. Its luxurious sheen and substantial texture make it ideal for this chic design. Special care has been taken to prevent color fading on the pleats, even as the indigo naturally evolves over time.

Inspired by French vintage blouses, this piece features pleating techniques that enhance the natural qualities of the fabric. After hand washing, simply hang it to dry, and the pleats will effortlessly return to their original shape, ensuring they last for years. This blouse beautifully embodies Japanese craftsmanship and sustainable design.
