Y’s will launch its first collaboration collection with FAF (Fake As Flowers), a brand attracting attention within Japan's youth culture scene, on Friday, August 7, 2026.
The capsule collection consists of six styles, including coats, jackets, pants, and bags. Bringing together two brands from different creative spheres is Kantha quilt, the traditional Indian textile that FAF is known for.
In India, it is believed that "old cloth has the power to ward off evil," and there is a long-standing tradition of treating worn textiles with great care. Kantha quilts are created by repurposing vintage fabrics and traditional saris, layering multiple pieces together and hand-stitching each one with sashiko embroidery. As various fabrics are joined by hand, each textile develops a rich, expressive appearance with an array of colors and textures. Although this labor-intensive process is not suited to mass production, it was precisely this unique fabric that inspired the project: what would happen if it were reinterpreted through the creative lens of Y’s?
The project began with a simple question: what kind of transformation would this distinctive textile undergo when expressed entirely in black?
FAF's answer to Y’s challenge was "Japanese black."
To realize the shade of black envisioned by Y’s, the fabric was dyed by a workshop that has specialized exclusively in dyeing traditional Japanese formal black montsuki garments for more than a century. The result is a fabric born from exceptional craftsmanship and heritage, bringing together the identities of both brands through Kantha quilting.
The collection will be available at 17 Y’s boutiques nationwide as well as the official online store. In addition, Y’s OMOTESANDO and FAF's limited retail location will offer exclusive patchwork pieces made from Kantha quilt fabrics that have been further reconstructed into patchwork textiles. This initiative transforms every remaining fabric offcut generated during production into finished products, reflecting both brands' deep respect for textiles while creating truly limited-edition pieces.
