Story mfg. partners with Maidens Shop on a new collaboration centered around a reworked Seed Bomber — a project that has been in conversation for nearly six years.
Originally envisioned as a souvenir jacket, the piece draws from the post-war Japanese tradition where embroidered keepsakes were made for American troops. Rather than rushing the concept, Story mfg. approached it with deliberate care, building the garment around craft techniques that reflect both brands’ shared appreciation for heritage and process.
As seen in the images, the jacket is fully reversible and features a handwoven interior. Natural dyeing runs throughout, paired with hand-attached appliqué and crochet elements. The ribbing is hand-knit, and the stitching is intentionally irregular — crafted to appear imperfect through careful execution. Each detail reinforces the emphasis on labor, time, and considered construction.
The collaboration arrives alongside Maidens Shop’s new store opening, marking the moment with a piece that encapsulates years of dialogue and development. Story mfg. has confirmed that this version of the Seed Bomber will not be reproduced.
