Sashiko-Japanese for "little stabs"-evolved from a practical way to mend and reinforce fabric into an art form in its own right. Inspired by this useful and lovely technique, our stocking embellishes creamy ivory velvet with dainty multidirectional stitches in toasty tan. Skilled artisans embroider the organic cotton velvet by hand for a perfectly imperfect look that's at once timeless and modern. Finished with a solid cuff perfect for personalizing, the Christmas stocking coordinates beautifully with our other velvet versions.
