manipuri for AMARC silk scarf

A silk scarf with a dynamic floral pattern to brighten up any outfit.

This silk scarf was made in collaboration with "manipuri," a popular Japanese brand known for its vintage-like scarves. The flower pattern, dynamically expressed by hand printing, which is the essence of "manipuri," has been dyed in colors exclusive to AMARC.

The base color is gray, so it goes well with any color item. The bright green and blue accents blend in with a variety of styles. Just wearing this scarf will instantly elevate your look even when you have a simple style. Showing more green and blue will give you a pop and glamorous impression. Showing more gray can be elegant or masculine depending on how you arrange it.

With a size of 88 x 88cm, it's quite large, so you can wear it however you like, wrapping it around your shoulders, wrapping it compactly around your neck, or attaching it to your bag like an accessory.

All "Manipuri" scarves are hand-printed by skilled craftsmen, who carefully dye each scarf by hand. The color changes depending on the fabric and the season, so the ideal color can only be achieved by entrusting it to the eyes and hands of a craftsman with solid technical skills and rich experience. In addition, one board is used for each color, so for a pattern with 10 colors, the same process must be repeated 10 times, such as putting on the next color after the first color dries, waiting for it to dry, and then applying the next color. It is a miracle to steadily layer colors for the pattern you want to express and dye it exactly as you imagined without a 1mm deviation. The warm colors and delicate nuances of the pattern, with the dye firmly sunk into the fabric, are something that cannot be imitated by digital printing. It is the crystallization of craftsmanship given to us by craftsmen who take pride in the traditional dyeing techniques that take time and effort, and who are dedicated to just one scarf.

Manipuri was launched in 2009 with the desire to share the charm of vintage scarves with many people. The scarves, inspired by vintage scarves, are made with a focus on materials and sizes, and are calculated to look beautiful no matter how they are wrapped. Every season, Manipuri's silk scarves and stoles continue to evolve through research, and are all hand-printed by skilled artisans, who carefully dye each piece by hand. In addition to scarves, they also offer bags and umbrellas. A clothing line has been added since 2020SS.

Hello everyone, this is Naoko Okusa. This winter started warm, but it's finally getting cold. The Manipuri scarves and stoles that were a big hit at the "NO.b" pop-up we went to the other day were a big hit. They sold like hotcakes, and now they're available at Life Store! The design and hand-dyeing process of Manipuri products are quite labor-intensive, but I'm really happy that they're available at an affordable price!

The first item in this collaboration is a "double-sided" scarf. The 100% wool one is black, and the 100% silk one with a bandana pattern is navy. Yes, by deliberately combining black and navy, we were able to create a sense of depth and volume within the dark tones. The position of the pattern that appears will change depending on how you tie it, so you can "wrap it differently" depending on your mood that day. The other scarf, a silk twill scarf, is an AMARC original. It has a hint of yellow, so it will add a little spice to your gray-toned outfit or denim styling. These two scarves are very rare and available in limited quantities. Be sure to get your hands on one before they sell out.
