Understated and slightly unfinished, our handmade kippah's are crafted using Alexander Girard's timeless "toostripe" fabric design. This fabric was exclusive to Herman Miller's upholstery in the mid 60's and serves as the perfect weight and density for a kippah that rests flat and snug on the head. The edges of each yarmulke are left slightly unfinished, giving it a wabi sabi look that prevents the kippah from popping up when wearing.
Design credit is due to friend of JST Lizz Wasserman's mother Caren Connolly. Her homemade kippah's were the inspiration for these pieces.
Handmade in Union, Maine by Suzanne Macfadyen.

Judaica Standard Time explores the space between faith and design. It is playful, yet profound. The spiritual realm contains many functional objects that have been overlooked and forgotten over the years and through generations. Working with international artisans and designers on classic and traditional Judaica objects, JST looks to return these pieces to the forefront of our homes and minds. On the fringes of religion and spirituality, our goal is to connect and belong. To be useful in ways we had forgotten and to bring people together in pride and in memory. Judaism plays a part, but it is not the whole story. We hope these pieces can transcend religion and find a place in the spaces of all people.
