A live embroidery event marking the fifth anniversary of Nanamica’s SoHo store. Drawing from Nanamica’s design archives, a menu of archival motifs was developed for guests to select for on-site embroidery on custom tote bags.

Options included 3M reflective and UV-responsive finishes, referencing the engineered performance of Nanamica’s fabrics and their integration with GORE-TEX. Produced in collaboration with Sesame Projects, the celebration featured a mix of local and Japanese vendors, reinforcing Nanamica’s transnational design language. Olivia Rose was photographed and featured as part of the campaign, shot by Koki Sato.
