Cool Hunting Video: Sri Threads
A hidden collection of rare and beautiful Japanese textiles in Brooklyn, NY
NYC’s five boroughs are full of hidden treasures. From bars concealed by phone booths to unbelievable dim sum, it is nearly impossible to chart all the magic the city creates. We recently spent some time with Stephen Szczepanek, owner of Sri Threads, a boutique collection of rare Japanese textiles hidden inside an apartment building in the Greenpoint neighborhood of Brooklyn. Szczepanek has been collecting these gems from Japan for over a decade, and each of his many fabrics tells a story, documenting historical and cultural moments in the nation’s history.
