Each request begins with assessment.
TI YA RA reviews the piece, its material, its construction and the care being requested.
A Temple promise
The Tending
Rite
The standing restoration promise for authentic TI YA RA pieces, for as long as they are worn.
Cloth in relationship with time
A garment can
deepen.
Wear leaves a record. Linen learns movement. Silk remembers ceremony. A softened edge and a repaired seam become evidence of a life lived with the piece.
The Tending Rite keeps that relationship in motion through restoration, repair and return.
01 · The promise
Care continues
after acquisition.
Each eligible restoration is confirmed before return.
TI YA RA confirms what can be tended safely, any cost and the available route before the piece is sent.
Return instructions are specific.
Shipping, timing and the return route are confirmed for each eligible request.
Cloth enters a life
Wear leaves a record.
Movement softens the fibre. Ceremony, travel and ordinary days gather into the material as a history of belonging.
The garment speaks
Care begins with attention.
A loosened seam, a tired fastening or colour ready for renewal becomes an invitation to continue the piece.
The standing promise
The relationship
continues.
02 · The anatomy of care
The garment tells us
what it requires.
Select an area to see what may be possible after assessment.
Seams, hems and linings are assessed.
Eligible work may include stitching, hems, lining care, reattachment or small structural patching.
The small points of use receive exact attention.
Buttons, clasps, ties and elastic are assessed against the original construction and available materials.
Areas of repeated contact are considered by hand.
TI YA RA confirms whether the fibre and present condition can be tended safely.
Colour requires its own assessment.
For naturally dyed pieces, any possible colour work depends on the original material, dye practice and present condition.
03 · The return
What is worth beginning
is worth tending.
A return is an act of continuation. The aim is integrity, function and renewed depth, with the history of the cloth still present.
The rite in four movements
From your hands.
Back to your hands.
