My Story
My Story
My name is Sakiko. I grew up in Tokyo and now live in Seattle. I started Dashing Aces because I love creating small everyday items that are both beautiful and useful. I also crochet, and design textile patterns.
The Story Behind the Name - "Dashing Aces"
The Story Behind the Name - "Dashing Aces"
The name Dashing Aces comes from my two beautiful sons, Ace and Dash. When I started my handmade shop, combining their names felt joyful and meaningful. The name reminds me every day of the creativity and energy that inspired me to begin this journey.
