In necklaces, a “lariat” refers to a type that does not use clasps or fastenings. True to its name, this necklace has no clasps or knots along its leather cord.
The three woven decorations made from Grapevine can be freely moved up and down along the cord.The top, largest decoration has a diameter of about 1.57″, showing spots where the lighter-colored inner bark of the Grapevine appears on the surface.Below it are two more decorations—one about 1.18″ in diameterand another about 0.79″.As shown in the photo, you can adjust their balance by positioning the smaller decorations lower or higher.The neck cord is a round leather cord in a calm tone that complements the natural color of the Grapevine.Because each piece is handwoven from natural materials, slight variations in size, shape, and texture will occur.To highlight the weave of the Grapevine, it pairs beautifully with simple linen, cotton, or wool garments.Adjust the position of the decorations to match your outfit or mood for the day.
Like a Grapevine basket, this pendant will gradually gain luster over time as it’s handled and worn.
With intricate weaving and a sense of volume, this lariat pendant combines charm, lightness, and freedom— a piece that makes you feel as if you could spend the day with an easy, open heart.
Forms that captivate, born from the rich materials of Yamagata
Using a variety of mountain materials—Grapevine, walnut, Akebi, and Matatabi— Kaoru Saito creates a succession of unique forms rarely seen elsewhere, as well as refined basketry that quietly draws the eye.
For many years, she has gone into the mountains herself to gather materials, carrying out every step of the process from the very beginning.
In fact, Kaoru is also a highly skilled maker capable of producing finely woven Grapevine tote baskets of exceptional quality. The accessories and ornaments she creates from multiple materials all carry a sense of considered beauty, while also reflecting playfulness and thoughtful attention to the user.
She has a deep understanding of each material, and is also a user herself, incorporating baskets, accessories, and small objects into her daily life.
Listening closely to the voices of those who use her work, she continues to explore how pieces can be made more comfortable, beautiful, and enjoyable to use.
