  • MISSION NIGHT MARKET.

    Lovely friends!
    Time flies like a shooting star, it’s been already a month since I got back in Bay Area. I have relocated my self in San Franciso, been really busy settling and re-organizing my atelier after a long trip to Japan. Just wanted to let you all of you know that there’s an exciting event coming up tomorrow for 3 nights in a row – “MISSION NIGHT MARKET”, organized and presented by Ken Ken Ramen in the heart of Mission district.

    I was invited to have a vendor booth, selling greeting cards, prints, T-shirts, small artworks and bags (new stuff!)! There will be lots of clothes, goods, food, art installations and more!! This is the event you can’t miss, it’s going to be super exciting and fun!

    Here’s the word from the organizer:

  • Hawke & Carry x Aoi Yamaguchi: Leather Handbags + Japanese Calligraphy

    My new project – collaboration with leather bag line “Hawke & Carry“. I have been wanting to make bags with my calligraphy artwork as part of the textile design. I met the bag designer Paula Collins through a friend of mine, saw her really soft and flexible leather bag on her shoulder, and immediately fell in love with her leather bags. Finally one of my dreams came into a shape! First group of bags are limited in stock.
