It all started WITH A TEXTILE LOVER’S DREAM…

Lynne, the owner of Sakura Bloom, always dreamed of visiting the country where so many of her favorite textiles are crafted. The first step was to capture the essence of the regions where many of our silks and cottons were woven.

Textile education

Lynne’s mission was to educate and show her customers that textiles are not just born, but they are woven from raw materials, by real people. The artistry in this process should be recognized and celebrated. In capturing some of the fiber artists, we hoped to shape a better perspective on the textiles we often buy without thinking about their origins.

Women. Mothers. Teachers.
Spinning. Weaving. Creating.

These roles: are some of the most powerful. These actions: fabric that holds us. Together we’ve intertwined them to bring you, the Seek Collection.

Raw cotton is hand spun and then masterfully woven on wooden looms into the softest cloth, making way only for intricately placed dots & lines. Shadowy hints of natural dye along a sandy dune of cream.

Designed to keep you and your little one cool in the summer and warm in winter, the Seek Collection is Sakura Bloom’s first purely raw cotton ring sling. Hand spun and loomed by the hands of mothers in India, cut and sewn by the hands of mothers in California, and wrapped gently around babies by the hands of mothers across the globe.
