the thing I like about making jewelry is sometimes it’s like the inside of my heart put into the world. And sometimes it’s beads on a. String

the bead board vs the necklace 🩶 I imagine this is perfect for a 90s heartthrob type… #freshwaterpearls #angelcore #fairycore

Hi :) I’m Aki - I make clothes! Particularly interested in workwear, but I do step outside of it occasionally. Almost everything in my shop is fabric I dye - the rest being upcycled and vintage fabrics - all sewn by me in my little home studio in Chicago. You can see my works here: www.kakitake.com
