minä perhonen is a clothing brand that uses original, in-house fabrics created from artwork by designer Akira Minagawa. These patch sets feature emblems that represent trademark textiles released by minä perhonen over the years.
These patches are great for ironing onto clothing or other cloth accessories, as well as using as a traditional sticker on paper. Designs include intricately embroidered birds, rabbits, butterflies and plants. Each set includes three patches.
*We recommend sewing the patches in addition to ironing them when applying them to soft or textured garments to prevent the patch from falling off. We also recommend using glue to attach the patches to polyester covers, as the polyester material does not do well under heat and should avoid the use of an iron.
About minä perhonen
Fashion brand created by designer Akira Minagawa.
First founded in 1995 under the name minä. Opened the first shop in Shirokanedai, Tokyo in 2000, and renamed the brand name to "minä perhonen" in 2003.
In Finnish, “minä” means “I,” and “perhonen”means “butterfly,” expressing Minagawa’s hopes to create designs as light-hearted and beautiful as the flapping wings of a butterfly.
Opened a total of 9 shops across Japan. In 2016, opened new locations in Daikanyama, in the Spiral building in Aoyama,Tokyo, and in Kanazawa.
