Collaboration Story

We started collaboration like this

One thread connects with someone's life,
while another crosses paths with a distant dream.
And so, these layered emotions take shape as one.

—This brand was born from such extraordinary encounters.

What emerged was a bag unlike anything the world had seen before.

It is fashion.
It is art.
And it is a story—woven with human lives.

Remove even one of them, and this creation would not exist.
Only through the complete convergence of their visions could this level be reached.

Three Unique Strengths, United Toward One Vision

• Tanji, as the brand’s designer, transforms imagination into sculptural form.
• Satomi, as pattern maker and creative director on the ground, asks:
  How should this curve be crocheted to embody Tanji’s style?”
  How can a rose truly bloom in three dimensions?
  Through countless prototypes, she guides crocheters again and again.
• Minako, from a branding and market perspective, meticulously considers
  placement, pricing, design balance, and customer needs.

 

The day their visions became one

Branding producer, Minako Ishii and Satomi Sekiya have been close friends for many years.
Moved by Satomi’s entrepreneurial spirit, Minako decided to stand beside her in launching a new brand—driven by genuine conviction and support.

Knit Airtist, Motoharu Tanji's Tanji's mission lay in turning that vision into reality.
It was a challenge impossible to achieve alone.

When Satomi first encountered images of Tanji’s work, she was instantly captivated.
“I want to express his world through our bags.”
Driven by this conviction, she reached out to Tanji, and the story of the three began to unfold.

It was not an easy journey.

Yet, the teamwork was remarkably strong.

By respecting each other's expertise and passion,

the work naturally moved forward.

Tanji × Sulci

This collaboration is not a destination—it is a beginning.
Tanji × Sulci will continue to evolve.

From a single thread to creations that astonish the world.
From craftsmanship to hope that quietly lights the heart.

And when you carry this bag,
you, too, become part of this story.
