ABOUT
Setsuko Torii started designing for her own brand “SETSUKO TORII” in 1992.
In 2012, 20years after that, she opened her own shop and atelier as “Setsuko Torii KNIT WORKS” at the present address in Kyoto.
One year later, she officially launched “SETSUKO TORII CO LTD” as a public company. At the same time, she started cut&sewn brand called “TTS”.
In September 2016, Setsuko opened a new yarn shop called “Itonokura” using a Kura (Japanese traditional storage house)
in the garden behind her existing shop. Her wish is for more people to enjoy this beautiful machi-ya shop in Kyoto,
gathering and inspiring each other at ”Itonokura” through yarns, knitting and weaving.
