News !

​

I am thrilled to be returning to the Big Island of Hawai‘i this fall for two special OKOTOKOTO pop-ups.

It feels very special to bring the collection back to the island, and I’m looking forward to sharing new pieces in person at Kona Village in October and Mauna Kea Beach Hotel in November.

If you’re on the Big Island, I would love to see you there.

この秋、ハワイ島へ戻り、OKOTOKOTOのポップアップを2か所で開催できることを、とても嬉しく思っています。

思い出深いハワイ島に再びコレクションを届けられることは、私にとって特別なことです。

10月にはコナ・ビレッジ、11月にはマウナケア・ビーチ・ホテルにて、新しいアイテムを皆さまに直接ご紹介できるのを楽しみにしています。

この時期にハワイ島にいらっしゃる方は、ぜひ遊びにいらしてください。

皆さまにお会いできることを心から楽しみにしています。

The Color I Keep Returning To


私にとって、

ものづくりは五感から始まります。


心地よい布の手ざわり。


植物の香り。


風の音。

季節の光。

そして、色。


理由は説明できなくても、

心が動く色があります。


OKOTOKOTOは、


そんな色を集めながら、

一枚ずつ服をつくっています。

Sustainable Elegance Inspired by Nature


In my journey, touching each fabric and shaping each garment, I find that sustainable fashion is not merely a concept. It's a living, breathing promise we make. Each garment, each thread, exemplifies how we cherish the world we inhabit and the lives intertwined with our choices. To wear sustainable fashion isn’t to follow a trend; it is to wear our heart's commitment, each day, embracing the world’s heartbeat with our own.

There is a deep reverence I feel when I immerse myself in the art of hand-dyeing. Techniques aren't just steps to follow in a manual. They are echoes, songs, and landscapes. Each fabric tells tales of the dye it carries, the hands it has touched. It’s not merely about making a cloth colorful; it's about weaving the past into the present, about heritage and innovation.

Every garment from our collection is an invitation—to wear, to cherish, to reflect. In this vast sea of mass production, we find solace in crafting fewer but more meaningful pieces. Our pieces are made with intention, allowing wearers to feel the weight and worth of mindful choices.
