What does museum-grade mean on your site?

Museum-grade refers to coherence and integrity: materials, technique, and condition align with a convincing internal logic and cultural presence.

How do you describe condition on vintage and antiques?

We describe condition with a collector’s lens, noting material aging, patina, and structural integrity so you can make confident decisions.

How should I care for Japanese vintage textiles and embroidery?

Avoid harsh light, humidity swings, and compression. Store with breathable protection and handle gently to preserve structure and surface.

How do I start collecting thoughtfully?

Several silk kimonos, cut and pieced into a loose pair of half pants: COTE MER turns the emblem of Japanese dress into relaxed streetwear. Handmade in the atelier's own workshop, the pair is one of a kind.

The Piece

Embroidered, baggy short pants made from kimono, a symbol of Japan, combining several kimonos in one garment. COTE MER draws out the charm of materials that carry Japan's history and tradition and remakes them as modern clothing, versatile enough for the street or a sporty look.

Mindful of the environment, the atelier uses even small remnants to make the most of every material, creating pieces that are both sustainable and strong in design. Each pair is handmade in COTE MER's own workshop, making it one of a kind, for those who prefer not to dress like anyone else.
