BETWEEN S U Z A N N E AND A K I K O:

            Akiko Takebayashi's meticulous work in her Parisian studio.

  Blanc Sauvage,  why?

In the aftermath of the terrible tsunami that hit Japan, many of my friends participated in fundraising events by selling their creations. At the time, I was working in fashion. I was frustrated that I couldn't be as involved in the process as they were, so I decided to make brooches that sold out. Being self-taught, it encouraged me to improve my sewing technique. Blanc Sauvage was really born in 2012 and since then it has allowed me to express my unexpected feelings.
