Hello! My name is Chie. I live in Tokyo. I started my clothing line, “Vivat Veritas” on my dining table with a borrowed sewing machine in 2008 while working in Philadelphia. I am a self-taught designer and a seam stress, and I hand make every piece for women who have hard time finding unique pieces in the world of fast fashion. My style is a mixture of feminine, classy and has a bit of retro and bohemian feel.
“Vivat Veritas” means “Let the Truth Prevail” in Latin.
At Vivat Veritas Shop, you can find one-of-a-kind kimono up cycled dresses and jumpsuits. They are made with unique fabrics I find here in Japan. I also work with brides to create custom wedding dresses that they feel special in on their wedding day.
All VV items are handmade in my sewing studio in Tokyo, Japan.
