A Japanese Feel
In 1988, Akiko Silva decided to repurpose old kimono fabrics that were too beautiful and unique pieces of art to dispose of into new lovely pieces of clothing and soft furnishing. This is how Patch Magic was born.
Today, Patch Magic is a charming and inviting boutique where the time stands still, located at Palais Renaissance #03-05, that specialises in Japanese apparel with modern touches and soft furnishing.
Being a strong advocate for the time-honoured practices of Japanese fine art and craftsmanship, Patch Magic's popular silk and cashmere products are hand-dyed using the centuries-old Katazome technique of stencil dyeing that has been passed down generations of Japanese craftsmen. From its initial design and conceptualisation, to the highly precise technique of hand-dyeing intricate details onto fabrics, this arduous process requires master craftsmen of their own special field to work together to create beautiful silk and cashmere fabrics which can then be crafted into other objects.
If you are looking for decor pieces and furnishing that will impress your guests and make excellent conversation topics, look no further. Unlike conventional fabrics, Patch Magic makes handcrafted table runners and cushion covers that are one-of-a-kind. The nature of kimono fabrics makes them special and unique in their own way and is an excellent way to inject a splash of color in your living or dining room.
This boutique can also customise its products to suit your desire or your decor needs. Made-to-order items can be specified based on the choice of fabric, the design and the size.
