We're opening spring-summer 2022 with casual sophistication from Still by Hand, in their first season at Tempest Works. This brand is made and sourced entirely in Japan and embodies understated elegance with its breezy, relaxed fits, neutral palette, and pristine yet not-too-perfect materials. Still by Hand expresses balance between structure and flow, polished and rumpled, casual and formal.

The SS22 collection is no exception: unstructured jackets have collars stiff enough to turn up, trousers pair equally well with a formal shirt as with a hoodie, and materials combine conventional (cotton, wool) with unique (paper). The clean and simple designs let pieces stand on their own and layer just as well. Quiet and effortless beauty.

"Something you can wear, probably not to show off, but to make your every day a little bit different."

Still by Hand got its start in 2000 when the designer Yusuke Yanagi returned to Japan from fashion school in the UK. The brand's guiding principle is making garments with Japanese materials, in Japan, which they achieve with factories from Aomori to Hiroshima. Their production preserves the minute details that can be erased by an assembly line, giving their clothes the feel of still being made by hand. In their own words, Still by Hand is "something you can wear, probably not to show off, but to make your every day a little bit different."

Still by Hand has been international since 2015, when it expanded from Japan to select shops around the world. We're honored to be one of them and delighted to welcome Still by Hand to Tempest Works.
