Thank you for visiting Upcycle Stitches Website.
This is a "digital" gift card. After the purchase, you will receive an email with the giftcard and instructions on how to use it. The card can be used as payment for any products we have on this store. Although we set an expiration for 5 years from the day of purchase, we are willing to be flexible on that.
(I sincerely appreciate for several inquiries for donations to specific purposes, such as protecting Japanese Sashiko suppliers and artisans - including myself. I couldn't believe what I was reading when I received them. I do not know how "donation" will be categorized in the for-profit business like us, in the USA. I am learning & preparing the web page. If you are willing to make a donation instead of the Gift Card, please contact me so I can expedite my journey on this.)
This is my first challenge to offer the Gift Card.
Atsushi is here to assist in using the Gift Card. We will be sincere for your request.

We aren't just a Japanese craft supplier. We are a team of Sashiko professionals with more than 30 years of experience in Sashiko field. What we sell is what we use in our artworks. When we decide to not to use, it is the time to stop selling here.
We also strive for excellence in customer service. It is simply because we are happy to share what we are proud of, "Sashiko". Customers who purchase our products is a fan of Sashiko. We are happy to get to know you. We will answer questions regarding Sashiko from customers.
