Introducing our Icons and Pioneers collection: a series of kits inspired by the lives of notable women throughout history.
Hanae Mori, nicknamed 'Madame Butterfly', was a trailblazing Japanese fashion designer whose elegant creations broke cultural and gender boundaries, earning her global recognition in a traditionally Western-dominated industry. As the first Asian woman to be accepted into the prestigious Chambre Syndicale de la Haute Couture in Paris, Mori redefined what it meant to be a designer from the East, blending Japanese artistry with Western silhouettes. Her signature butterfly motif symbolized transformation and grace - fitting for a woman who helped usher in a new era of possibility for women in fashion. With every stitch, Hanae Mori inspired generations to dream beyond borders and embrace both tradition and modernity with pride.
To create a kit for this incredible woman we were inspired by her beautiful designs and bold prints, in particular focusing on the butterfly designs that were often featured in her work.
The kit includes a printed pink chenille base fabric with butterfly design and all the bullions and threads you will need to complete this design.
Kits do not include an embroidery hoop
