Clothing and clothware

Inspired by the aesthetic of Japan, indigo-dyed country clothing and the unusual narrow bolts of sturdy cotton cloth, Mingei Australia combines traditional and contemporary design to produce useful items of functional elegance where the main feature is always the choice of fabric. Any additional colour companions to indigo blue are earthy - browns, saffron reds, ochres, rusts, soft greens. Working with craftsmen to reproduce ageless fabric designs, there is always a wide variety available, with the same patterns rarely repeated. Farmer's shirts, Country pants, Monpe pants, Merchant Jackets, Paddy shirts. All are well known and loved for their sound shapes/design and reliable availability year after year. available from: STURT CRAFT CENTRE Range Road Mittagong NSW 2575 02 4860 2083 email: shop@sturt.nsw.edu.au
