THE FACTORY Sewing Book by Roshan Silva – Everyday clothes with attention to detail

Roshan Silva

Born in Italy, she studied architecture in high school and majored in business administration at university. After starting at the bottom in the textile industry, she went on to manage a textile manufacturer in Como, Italy. About ten years ago, she moved to Japan, a country with which she had a connection as a wholesaler. On a trip to Kamakura, she encountered an old traditional house and began a lifestyle shop with a cafe as a side business.

Since then, she has opened sister shops all over Japan. Now, as an owner-chef, she demonstrates her diverse talents, ranging from baking bread and making jam, to designing clothes for the apparel brand ‘THE FACTORY’, planning for the goods brand ‘Ambiente’, and designing shop layouts. She continues to excel in all of these areas.
