JunAle Sashiko Studio

Osaka, Japan

JunAle is an Osaka-based sashiko studio founded by artist Jun Sugimae, dedicated to expanding traditional Japanese craft into contemporary design. Its SASHIKOSNEAKER™ pieces are made from collected boro textiles and strengthened through repeated hand stitching, while natural dyes such as indigo and persimmon tannin become part of each piece’s evolving story. Working across repair, bespoke sneakers, garments and art, JunAle embraces boro and wabi-sabi to show how sashiko can bind past and present—and extend the life of what already exists.
