About Kinran Kireji
L&L Paws bandanas in the Nishijin Collection are made from Nishijin fabrics with the traditional Japanese craft called Kinran Kireji. Kinran is a golden brocade fabric, where patterns are woven with gold threads, giving the fabric its graceful shimmer.
The Nishijin fabrics we use are made of synthetic fibres, polyester and rayon, taking a modern approach to the traditional textile industry. Using both modern and traditional techniques, the Nishijin fabrics are made strong, durable, and as beautiful and supple as silk.
