Boro
A Japanese textile tradition of patching and mending worn fabrics, typically indigo cotton. In contemporary fashion, 'boro' refers to garments or textiles with visible mending patches, often intentionally aged. Boro-style pieces sell on Grailed, Depop, and Etsy to buyers interested in Japanese craft traditions and wabi-sabi aesthetics. Genuine antique boro textiles are rare, valuable, and typically sold through specialist dealers rather than consumer marketplaces.
