Founded in 1915 by Bunzaburo Katayama in Kyoto, Bunzaburo began as a traditional kimono fabric manufacturer specializing in Kyo Kanoko Shibori tie-dye. Now led by the third generation of the Katayama family, the heritage atelier has evolved into a contemporary fashion house that reimagines the ancient art of resist-dyeing as wearable art. The brand is best known for its sculptural Petit Bags, which utilize a three-dimensional spiky shibori technique on stretch polyester satin. These kinetic accessories begin as compact, tightly bound forms that expand dramatically to accommodate everyday items, merging centuries-old Japanese craft with modern functionality.
