About Me

I'm a goldsmith/seamstress and I recently started a clothing label: Monogatari.

I mainly focus on historical clothing between 1200-1930, gothic/fantasy and alternative fashion.I mostly work in materials such as velvet, silk,organza, chiffon, taffeta, cotton, linen, lace but also pvc. I like to use decent quality materials.
