LOTTERY SALE

minä perhonen creates timeless, all-original garment textiles that are specially dyed, embroidered, and woven to recreate hand-drawn designs.

We’re pleased to bring back the piece, series for the 2024 spring lineup. These patchwork covers are assembled by hand using all the left-over pieces saved during the production of clothing.

The Original Spring Mix cover is a patchwork design that comes to life with the union of nine meticulously created textiles of various colors, fabrics, and styles.

The cover interior is made from pale pink cow leather. It’s accented with a butterfly embroidery.

Two dotted lace bookmarks are attached.

Each patch is cut from a different spot in the original textile and sewn into the patchwork by hand, giving every cover an entirely unique look. Due to the limited nature of the textile leftovers used in the patchwork, this cover is available through lottery sale.

Textiles used in piece, (Original Spring Mix)

1. piha (2022 Spring / Summer)

The small flowers peacefully blooming in the spring light tickle our hearts and give us a bright feeling.

2. metsä (2012 Spring / Summer)

This velvet jacquard textile expresses trees in a forest that has been rained in a morning dew, transformed by a shine of sunlight and is surrounded by a calm silence.

3. symphony (2019-20 Autumn / Winter)

This colorful velvet jacquard textile evokes the image of inhabitants of the forest, plants, and the symphony created by light.

*This textile comes in one of two patterns.

4. fogland (2007-08 Autumn / Winter)

This glossy Jacquard velvet textile has a beautiful sheen and depicts a winter forest engulfed in fog.

5. tähti (2023 Spring / Summer)

The design looks like an accumulation of light in the night sky. The series of dots in velvet jacquard reminds us of blinking starlight.

6. pomppia (2023 Spring / Summer)

Rabbit faces drawn in diverse touches are portrayed as a continuous pattern. The design reminds us of the connections between living creatures and events of the world.

7. tambourine (2000-01 Autumn / Winter)

Freehand-drawn circles are embroidered in dots that protrude from the fabric in this minä perhonen classic.

8. tarte (2007-08 Autumn / Winter)

Ellipses uniformly surround colorful stitches. This textile was inspired by tartes glistening in the display of a patisserie.

9. swing camellia (2022-23 Autumn / Winter)

This design shows camellias that have an energetic yet dainty look blooming as if they’re dancing. The shades are embroidered underneath the color of the flowers, making it look like an oil painting.

*The years in parentheses are the seasons the designs were first released.

About minä perhonen

minä perhonen is a brand created by designer Akira Minagawa.
First founded in 1995 under the name minä, and renamed “minä perhonen” in 2003. In Finnish, “minä” means “I,” and “perhonen” means “butterfly,” expressing Minagawa’s hopes to create designs as light-hearted and beautiful as a butterfly’s flapping wings.

Four types available for this edition

The 2024 edition of minä perhonen comes in four designs; “anone-anone,” “symphony,” “light berry,” and “piece,.”

“anone-anone” is a unique textile with silhouettes of cats drawn in simple lines irregularly lined up. The longer you look at it, the more it looks like a pattern. There are many patterns with cat motifs, but the base fabric’s color and the cat’s abstract silhouette make it look chic.

I feel that “symphony” is a delicate and charming design, with some diamond shapes decorated with motifs such as animals and flowers. In contrast, others form different motifs by combining a series of semicircles and curves. You can enjoy different looks with different colorsーthe A6 size cover is embroidered with light gray thread on navy fabric, and the A5 size is embroidered with light blue thread on yellow fabric.

“light berry” has red berries embroidered on a green background. The small fruits embroidered in fine detail are typical of minä perhonen. It also has a neat look, rare for minä perhonen, with red embroidery on the green base. It is not too flashy, but very sharp.

The piece, for spring, features “pomppia” with rabbit faces in all techo covers, and the bright yellow resemble spring light. The inner covers are warm, pale colors such as pink and light blue. We hope you enjoy the tenderness that only the spring piece, can bring.

We hope you enjoy the minä perhonen textiles for this edition!

Actual specifications may vary from listing: Each item is individually assembled and sewn by hand by a factory worker. Best efforts are made to ensure consistent sizes and specifications, but there may be slight differences.
Pattern alignment varies by product: The patterned fabric has not been aligned to a specific layout, so the placement of each design will vary by product. The product will not be an exact replica of the one in the product photographs.
Threads may protrude from embroidered area: Please note that embroidered areas may contain threads that protrude from the design.
Stitching may be slightly curved or bumpy: Stitching may be slightly curved or bumpy as a result of sewing together materials of various thicknesses.
Patchwork patterns vary by cover: The textiles comprising the patchwork design differ by design and location for each cover. Please understand the random nature of the design before ordering.
Leather may contain preexisting wrinkles and marks: In order to allow customers the enjoyment of all-natural leather, the leather is processed in a way that retains its original feel. This may leave imperfections visible on the surface of the cover, such as wrinkles, scratches, stains, or vein marks.
Depending on the conditions in which the cover is used, natural oils of the leather may emerge and appear as stains. We ask for your understanding for these naturally-occurring characteristics of genuine leather.
Use caution around sharp objects: The material in this product snags easily on sharp objects, so please handle with care.
Inquiries about the minä perhonen collaboration covers: These Hobonichi Techo cover designs were directed by minä perhonen, but produced by Hobonichi. Inquiries about these covers cannot be answered at minä perhonen shop locations, so please contact the Hobonichi Store with any questions or concerns.
Avoid storing in hot and humid places: Please avoid storing your product in hot, humid places or placing it atop other objects for long periods of time as this may result in lower quality and color stains.
