like the rest of melbourne, i have had a bit of a cold of late. and also a little bit distracted with being busy at work and fiddling with laying out a little cook book of nice vegetarian japanese recipes that i hope to give to friends and relatives. and who knows, maybe if it works well, i could even try making it a little zine-y type one to put out into the world? but that seems a very far away dream at the moment...meanwhile...
cocca is a really nice textile house based in shibuya tokyo. i am a big fan of the 'kite apron' above and the 'honeycomb' below. cocca collaborations include d-bros and iida kasaten. the lovely three buttons did a post on cocca whilst in tokyo.

i love the apron :) the cook book sounds great! id buy a copy!
ReplyDeleteI love this honeycomb. My mum taught me how to patchwork with hexagons like this and I have been meaning to revisit it for AGES. This reminds me I should...
ReplyDeleteAnyway...
I want a cookbook too!
P.S. zines are supposed to be slightly dodgy aren't they?

ReplyDeleteI want to put in an order for your lovely sounding Japanese vego recipe zine! I hope it includes the amazing Japanese salad dressing secret that I can never quite crack.

hi lee! thankyou!! i will try:) i wonder which salad dressing you mean? i am currently trying to unlock the secrets to a grated daikon/citrus dressing that i really like...but all the dressings are so good - and how about japanese potato salad - delicious!
