About Yuga
The textile culture in Japan was established in the Yamato Period 300-700 AD From these early beginnings, Japanese textiles have come to represent some of the finest examples of quality and design, found in any culture in the world.
The diversity of impressive hand weaving, dyeing, and printing techniques in silk, cotton and wool can be seen to stunning effect in Obi’s and Kimonos.
Yuga brings you the finest examples of these vintage textiles collated and refashioned to bring you unique cushions for today’s interiors.

About Me
Having been lucky enough to grow up in the Orient and travelled extensively, textile foraging became a lifelong habit substantiated by my other passion, sewing. Yuga has been established after four decades in the Interior Textile and Interior Design Industry.
Whilst looking for fabric with an oriental bias for my own home I was really excited to rediscover the intrinsic beauty of Japanese Obi’s.
Having always had the highest regard for the Japanese aesthetic found across their culture, architecture, and design. I am delighted to bring you the finest examples of this design aesthetic found in the textiles so beautifully encapsulated in the Japanese Obi.
