To mark their 45th anniversary, Studio D’Artisan presents the SP-117 “Ai-Sa”, a limited-edition denim that merges centuries-old Japanese dyeing traditions with the brand’s renowned attention to detail and innovation. This special release celebrates the fleeting beauty of cherry blossoms—sakura—through a stunning and symbolic blend of natural dyeing and artisanal construction.

Crafted from 15oz unsanforized selvedge denim, the SP-117 features a classic rope-dyed indigo warp paired with a rare and distinctive weft dyed using sakura tree bark. This natural dyeing method, known as Kusakizome, infuses the cotton yarns with a gentle, earthy pink hue that subtly reveals itself through the denim's texture—an homage to the elegance and impermanence of Japan’s spring season.

The silhouette is a modern tapered fit, offering a clean, tailored look without sacrificing comfort. Despite its contemporary profile, the jeans retain traditional construction methods that speak to Studio D’Artisan’s core philosophy. Details include a 4-button fly with original SDA hardware, engraved copper rivets (male/female), and 45th anniversary herringbone pocket bags. A fifth-pocket selvedge ID, offset center belt loop, and signature contrast stitching on the back pockets further showcase the brand’s meticulous craftsmanship.

The SP-117 isn’t just denim—it’s a wearable expression of Studio D’Artisan’s dedication to storytelling, sustainability, and Japanese artistry. With its symbolic use of natural materials and a refined construction honed over decades, this release exemplifies the harmony between tradition and innovation.

Fit Notes:
The SP-117 runs slightly small in its one-wash version, as is common with many SDA jeans. We recommend sizing up one full size from your usual fit. Since the denim has already been washed, no further shrinkage is expected. Please consult the size chart to ensure an ideal fit.
