Created by British designers Erica and Faye Toogood, the London-based fashion studio designs unisex clothing. Toogood clothing celebrates craft and craftsmanship, each garment being named and cut according to a specific tradespeople, such as the apple picker, architect, or weaver. HOSOO developed a custom pattern textile, Malachite Fields, which was designed by the brand. The textile combines various traditional materials and techniques to express the rich, waxy texture that is characteristic of the original design.

Family-owned since 1688, Hosoo has carried on the renowned textile traditions of Nishijin in Kyoto for more than twelve generations. The history of the textile company could even be traced back to the birth of the textile district in Nishijin, Kyoto formed by master-weavers and tailors in the 9th century.

Originally appointed kimono tailors and obi belt weavers of the Imperial Family of Japan in the 17th century, Hosoo’s long lineage of weavers have since expanded their workshop to create traditionally-woven, hand-spun silk-based textiles for international talents, interior designers and fashion houses around the world.

Under the visionary leadership of the Hosoo family, the textile mill has preserved the time-honored techniques and weaving methods of Nishijin, while integrating them with improved looming technologies to meet the demands of an international clientele.
