Just like SOUTH2 WEST8, hand-crafted leather brand amarillo is based in Sapporo, Hokkaido. Mainly using local Yezo sika deerskin, the brand’s owner, Airi Takahashi, sticks to leather crafts made by her own hand with braiding and stitching techniques. After gaining new fans through past collaborations with SOUTH2 WEST8 and NEEDLES, amarillo has made a fringe bag, sacoche and necklace for this season’s NEEDLES collection. In this section, we unveil the background story of the brand’s creation through a conversation with Takahashi.
