Shoutout Sunday will de a day to spread the word about artisan workshops :)@momokanzashi inspired me to do this with her Community over Competition meme <3 Štěpán makes original backpacks from vintage Japanese fabrics. Let me introduce you to his crafts! 1. Tell us something about yourself. I live in a small spa town Mariánské Lázně in the Czech Republic. I started sewing about seven years ago, and as many other crafts were led to it by my appreciation of Japanese culture - namely kimono.2. What is your unique ability or craft? I make mostly backpacks as well as other items from vintage kimono and obi fabrics. Each one is original, and even if I use the same fabric, I try to change it up so that I don’t make the same one twice. Tell us one detail about your craft that isn’t common knowledge or people often tend to get wrong? It is hard to answer this question because the items I make are not difficult to recognize :)4. How did your appreciation for Japanese culture start? I always found Japanese kimono fascinating and started to research it more back in 2006. Since then, I accumulated a small collection, but now I mostly buy only vintage pieces of kimono fabrics to upcycle and make them into something new for others to enjoy and appreciate. All the techniques used when making the kimono and obi fabrics are still so fascinating, and I always look forward to receiving a new shipment of fabrics!5. What do you consider your greatest strength? I think I have a good eye for colour combinations and use that to make interesting items :)6. If you could visit one place in Japan, what would it beOf course Kyoto and the whole area around Lake Biwa. :)Thank you for sharing your work with us!
