Hi! My name is Yuki and I’m the woman behind Yuki.Buttons.
My passion for clothes started when I was 5 years old. My parents met a woman at a local fair and instantly became friends. As it turns out, she was a professional seamstress and had a full home sewing studio. She worked for other labels and taught me everything there is to know about sewing, from threading a needle to finishing a piece - instilling in me the values of patience, discipline, and appreciation for the things well done.
Some fun facts about me:
- I'm Japanese, but I was born and raised in Barcelona, Spain. Thanks to that, I speak 4 languages fluently: English, Spanish, Catalan, and Japanese. If you check our thank you cards, they say “thank you” in these four languages: Thank you so much, Muchas gracias, Moltes gràcies, and Arigatou gozaimasu!
- My husband and I moved to California in 2018. Although we miss our family and friends back home, we are having the best time exploring this side of the planet.
- Besides fashion, I’m deeply committed to doing whatever I can to preserve our planet. By offering an alternative clothing option - one that is more sustainable and ethically made, is my way of doing more for the planet. The world can be discouraging sometimes, but I believe that "every little act counts."
- My other obsession is food. Good seasonal ingredients and home-cooked and delicious food would be my favorite kind.
