History:
F/Style Was Founded In 2001 By Emi Igarashi And Wakana Hoshino. The Brand Serves A Focused Mission To Re-Popularize Ancient Japanese Crafts By Applying Them To Contemporary Designs.

Tenuguis Have Been Part Of Japanese Life Since The Year 794. In The Heian Period (794 – 1185), Tenuguis Were Used To Dry Hands, Wrap Valuables And Clean The Home. 500 Years Later, In The Edo Period (1608 – 1868), Tenugui Cloths Became A Fashion Accessory Worn Around The Head And Neck To Absorb Sweat And Protect The Skin Against The Sun. The Appeal Of Tenugui Cloths From Heian Till Now Is The Same: The Cloth Becomes Softer As You Use It, And The Colorful Patterns Are Beautiful. It Is An Understated Piece Of Traditional Handcraft That Can Be Used In Everyday Life.
