Boro Wovens by Moda was inspired by Boroboro...meaning something that is tattered, ragged or repaired. Born out of necessity, these mended and patched-together textiles are now highly collectible works of art representing animportant part of Japanese history. Using scraps of leftover indigo-dyed cottons, Boro Wovens celebrates the beauty of theordinary with layers of fabrics stitched together by hand for utilitarian purposes.
