Overview
For the fashionably inclined, you’re probably less slightly less knowledgeable about the musical delights of the shakuhachi flute from Japan and moreso learned on the Melbourne label of the same name. While the musical shakuhachi has been making waves since the 6th century (it’s been used by legendary artists such as Sade and Linkin Park!) it’s the sartorial Shakuhachi that’s getting people’s heads turning in this day and age.
Jessie White, the woman behind the label, created a three-piece shirt range for the first Shakuhachi collection, made on a $400 budget and sold through a couple of boutiques in Melbourne. Now, the much sought-after label is a household name and sold on a national and international basis. If you’re yet to own a Shakuhachi piece, no need to panic – current and previous collections will be on sale in the Valley at massively reduced prices, and for three whole days. If you miss out you better have been doing something pretty important - like polishing your bamboo flute for your Linkin Park cover band – because otherwise you’d be pretty silly to miss out.
