About Atelier Miyabi
Atelier Miyabi is an independent textile studio based in Japan, exploring traditional Japanese techniques through contemporary design and practical application.
We work primarily with kumihimo braided cords, shibori-inspired patterns, and textile-based materials developed for jewelry making, craft, and creative production. Our studio operates on a small scale, allowing us to design, test, and refine each product with care and precision.
Our Approach
Rather than mass production, we focus on studio-based creation.
Some of our products are handmade in limited quantities, while others are offered as digital designs or print-on-demand items. Each format is chosen deliberately—based on the nature of the technique, material stability, and long-term usability.
Traditional methods such as braiding, dyeing, folding, and binding form the foundation of our work. We study these processes not only as cultural heritage, but as functional systems that can be adapted for modern makers.
Materials & Accuracy
We place strong emphasis on clarity and accuracy.
Materials, colors, thickness, structure, and specifications are described as precisely as possible so our customers can confidently incorporate them into their own work.
Our designs aim for balance:
- visual refinement without excess ornament
- practicality alongside beauty
- consistency that supports repeat use and reordering
Who We Work With
Atelier Miyabi serves individual makers, designers, and creative professionals around the world. Our customers include jewelry designers, textile artists, crafters, and studios seeking reliable materials and thoughtfully developed designs.
We operate primarily in English and ship internationally from Japan through our website and selected platforms.
A Studio in Progress
This studio is not a factory, nor a static archive.
It is a place of ongoing experimentation, documentation, and learning—where traditional knowledge meets contemporary creative needs.
Through our work, we aim to support thoughtful making and meaningful use of Japanese textile techniques in today’s creative landscape.
