NORTH WORKS × BARNS OUTFITTERS special collaboration items The city of Fussa in Tokyo, about 40 km from the center of the city, has a somewhat American atmosphere, partly due to the Yokota Air Base. NORTH WORKS is a workshop and atelier in a renovated U.S. military house, where they continue to create products with unchanging value based on basic designs. Each item is made by hand, so each piece has a slightly different face, which becomes the flavor of the item. The 2025 Spring/Summer collection features a special collaboration Native American jewelry series, commissioned by BARNS OUTFITTERS as a tribute to the various Native American tribes and silversmiths that have been central to the brand since its early days. A design combining arrow stamp work and turquoise. Traditional Arrow × Turquoise Design For Native Americans, turquoise is more than just a decorative stone—it is considered a sacred stone used in prayers and ceremonies to connect with the spirits. Warriors have worn turquoise as a protective talisman against illness, accidents, and curses, and it has been regarded as a life-giving stone for thousands of years. The arrow, on the other hand, symbolizes protection and is believed to ward off evil when worn as an accessory. Made in Japan
