Bark Cloth (Kapa)
Bark cloth was widely used in America from the 1930's to the 1960's, primarily as a fabric for interior furnishings and Hawaiian shirts. The name "bark cloth" is said to have come from the bark-like texture of the fabric, which has an uneven weave pattern and fibers that stand up and do not cling to the skin. Bark cloth is traditionally considered a summer fabric, so we thought it would be interesting to use the fabric as one of the symbolic materials in our fall and winter season. The natural color is achieved by using a traditional mud dye technique from Amami-Oshima, an island off the coast of Okinawa, Japan.
Mud dyeing entails using the tannin from the sharinbai tree and mixing it with mud found in Amami-Oshima; the tree tannin and iron from the mud create a chemical reaction that turns the dye into a dark brown color upon oxidization. Although the demand for mud-dyed kimonos has decreased and many artisans have lost work, we have used this technique for a long time and have made many mud-dyed products as a result. The classic cowboy print was screen-printed to the bark cloth using over ten different patterns. The inspiration and production of this custom fabric spans the entire globe, and the end result is truly unique.
