Mieko Mintz
Born in southern Japan, Mieko Mintz uses handcrafted textiles from around the world to make contemporary pieces. Her signature line includes jackets made from vintage sari kantha, each with its own variety of colors and its own story.
Mintz's work follows in the kantha tradition. First, her designs are made into kantha throws in West Bengal, which she then cuts to fit her jacket designs. Her focus is a kantha line that is not only comfortable, but also contemporary and sophisticated.
Cuttings left over from making the jackets are recycled one more time to create hats, bags, and jewelry.
Customer Reviews
It's stunning and very versatile! It can be worn with a plethora of colors in a casual or business setting. I receive compliments each time I wear it; it is extremely lightweight and comfortable.
I wore this piece for the first time and received many compliments.
I wore this to an art opening in Portland last night with a black outfit. 6-7 people stopped me to admire it. I bought it for a trip to Italy where I'll wear mostly black as well. It's light as a feather so perfect for packing. I checked out the artists clothing line - it's lovely too, but a bit pricey. Anyway, a big hit and one of the best things I've bought in a long time.
Beautiful, unusual hand made necklace. I recommend to anyone, although would look best on someone TALL.
This unique multi-colored necklace will complete a wide array of outfits. Its elegance and versatility make it a winner! It is a wonderful length and light- weight.
