Authentic Japanese import

As a long-time fan of Akira Minagawa, I am thrilled to find this authentic fabric. The texture is substantial yet airy, perfect for door curtains that let light through while providing privacy. Fast shipping too!

Beautiful but pricey

This is genuine mina fabric and the quality shows. The butterfly motifs are delicate and charming. My only hesitation is the price point, but for a special project, it is justified. Just ensure you pre-wash before cutting.

Dreamy aesthetic

The butterfly design adds such a whimsical touch to my home. I made a table runner and some cushion covers. The embroidery has a nice raised texture that feels very premium. Highly recommend for craft lovers.

Perfect for DIY projects

I was worried about ordering fabric online without seeing it in person, but this exceeded expectations. The colors are soft and natural, exactly as pictured. It sews beautifully without fraying too much.

Lovely fabric, careful washing needed

The fabric is gorgeous and the print is crisp. I deducted one star only because it requires very gentle handling during the first wash to preserve the embroidery threads. Follow the care label strictly!

Exquisite quality and detail

The embroidery on this butterfly fabric is absolutely stunning. You can really feel the quality of the Japanese cotton. I used it to make cafe curtains for my kitchen, and they look like a piece of art. Worth every penny.

5 FAQ

Q: Do you offer samples before purchasing a full meter?

A: Yes, we offer A5 size sample swatches for this collection. Please search for 'mina fabric sample' in our store to add a swatch to your order before committing to a larger cut.

Q: Does the embroidery bleed when washed?

A: The dyes used are high-quality and colorfast, but we always recommend hand washing in cold water with a mild detergent for the first wash to ensure the longevity of the embroidery details.

Q: Can this be used for outdoor curtains?

A: While durable, this 100% cotton fabric with embroidery is best suited for indoor use. Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and rain may fade the colors and damage the embroidered threads over time.

Q: Is this fabric sold by the yard or by the meter?

A: This fabric is sold by the linear meter. Please select your desired length in the quantity selector at checkout.

Q: What is the repeat size of the butterfly pattern?

A: The pattern repeat is approximately 25cm vertically and 110cm horizontally, covering the full width of the fabric.
