Where Can You Buy mina perhonen Fabric Scraps (“Hagire”)?What’s Inside the Official Store Sets and How to Use Them

Do you know about the treasure box–like “fabric scrap sets” that are sold exclusively at mina perhonen stores?

Note: “Hagire” (ハギレ) In Japan, small pieces of leftover fabric are called “Hagire.” For mina perhonen lovers, these are not just scraps, but precious “fragments of art” that carry the beauty of the original design.

Some time ago, when I stopped by a handicraft shop, Yuzawaya, I happened to overhear a customer asking a staff member,
“Do you carry fabric scraps from a shop called mina perhonen?”

At that moment, I remember thinking,
“Maybe information about where to find mina’s fabric scraps isn’t so easy to come across unless you’re already a fan…”

So this time, I’d like to share a review of a fabric scrap set that I personally purchased at minä perhonen piece, Kyoto (4th floor).

I’ll walk you through the little thrill of discovering it in-store, along with a closer look at what’s inside the set.

Where can you find mina perhonen’s fabric scrap sets?

In fact, these fabric scrap sets are not available at all stores at all times.
I usually purchase mine at minä perhonen piece, Kyoto, but according to official information, they are currently available at the following locations:

Inquiries / Available Stores:

• Kanazawa
• Matsumoto
• materiaali (Daikanyama)
• minä perhonen piece, Kyoto
• koti (Shonan)

These sets are popular all year round, regardless of the season, and even at the stores listed above, they are not restocked every day.
In fact, I’ve had the misfortune of visiting twice in a row, only to find them out of stock…

The fabric scraps are created as part of the production process, and each piece is carefully used without waste.
When the sets are sold out, it also means that the fabric has been fully and thoughtfully used—something that feels like a beautiful, sustainable cycle.

How much do they cost? Can you buy them online?

The standard fabric scrap sets sold in stores are priced at ¥550 (tax included).
(Please note that the price was revised in October 2023, and there is currently a purchase limit of up to five sets per person.)

The package measures approximately 22.5 cm × 22.5 cm, and inside, you’ll find around seven pieces of fabric in various sizes.
Each set is thoughtfully arranged, with the colors carefully coordinated and beautifully packaged.

They are also occasionally available through the online store, although releases are irregular.
In the past (around March 2021), smaller sets were offered, but recently, it seems that larger sets—designed to be enjoyed more fully—have become the main offering.

Fabric Scrap Set (35 pieces): ¥2,750 (tax included)
(This 35-piece set is available exclusively through the online store, and there is often a purchase limit of up to two sets per person.)

When talking with fans of mina perhonen, I often get the impression that many people say,
“I want to see and choose the fabric scraps with my own eyes.”

Of course, it’s important whether their favorite textiles are included, but people also take their time carefully considering the size of each piece and even how the patterns appear on the fabric.

It’s true—there’s something truly special about the joy of choosing them in-store.
But online sets have their own charm, too, offering the chance to encounter unexpected textiles you might not have picked for yourself.

That sense of excitement—not knowing what’s inside until it arrives—makes them a wonderful option not only for those who live far away, but also for anyone looking for fresh inspiration.

[Review] The Joy of Choosing — A Look Inside the Fabric Scrap Set I Picked at a mina perhonen Store

Here, I’d like to introduce the fabric scrap set I purchased at minä perhonen piece, Kyoto.

In the store, it’s not always easy to spot where they are placed—you might miss them if you’re not paying close attention, so be sure to take your time and look carefully.
Actually, to be honest, the space itself is so beautiful that I often find my attention drifting, and I don’t even notice the scrap sets at first.

As of February 2026, photography is not allowed inside minä perhonen piece, Kyoto, so I’ll be sharing this review using only the items I purchased.

When choosing a set, here are a few things I like to keep in mind:

Whether the colors will blend well with the fabric scraps I already have

Whether it includes textiles I love (or have been hoping to find)

Whether it avoids overlapping with pieces I already own, as much as possible

Since the sets come in transparent packaging, I found myself choosing very carefully—not only looking at the textiles visible on the front, but also paying close attention to the subtle hints of color peeking through the overlapping layers (laughs).

Each set is thoughtfully put together by the staff, and no two are exactly the same—that’s part of what makes them so special.

As for textiles like pollo (the owl motif I love), merry-go-round, and swing camellia, I haven’t come across them in these sets, so it may be that some designs are included while others are not, depending on the textile.

Set 1 — Front View

Set 1 — Back View

The color balance is beautifully harmonious.

Set 2 — Front View

Set 2 — Back View

Set 3 — Front View

I chose this one because I was drawn to the color combination.
With its white-based palette, the textiles have a calm and understated beauty.

Set 3 — Back View

As you can see, some pieces may look small at first glance, but when you turn them over, you’ll often find that they are actually cut quite generously.

Be sure to look at both the front and the back as you choose—it’s part of the fun of finding your favorite set.

My Personal Ways of Using Fabric Scrap Sets

One of my favorite ways to use them is creating a one-of-a-kind book cover by piecing together small fragments in my own arrangement.

In particular, the combination of fogland and senko-hanabi, with tambourine placed alongside them, creates a scene that brings me quiet happiness just by looking at it.

Just looking at that gentle composition fills me with a quiet sense of joy.

There was a time when an announcement from mina perhonen regarding “commercial use” caused quite a stir within the handmade community.
However, today, they have expressed a warm and thoughtful stance of “coexistence.”

On this matter, I hope you’ll take in Mr. Akira Minagawa’s message just as it is, in his own words.

Someday, I’d love to try patchworking my favorite always denim myself…
With that little dream in mind, I’m hoping to start by improving my sewing skills.

A Quiet Favorite: The Linen and Cotton hello swallow Blanket

The linen and cotton hello swallow blanket, which made a small appearance in the photos of this fabric scrap set, is one I’d love to highlight here.

When people think of mina perhonen blankets, many may imagine warm, wool 100% pieces for winter.
But in my view, it’s actually this linen and cotton version that feels like a hidden gem.

—a quietly remarkable piece that deserves more attention.

With its crisp, airy linen and soft, gentle cotton, it’s something we use all year round in our home—regardless of the season.

The waffle texture doesn’t cling to the body, and the fabric is light, easy to drape, and comfortable to handle.

It’s a piece that quietly fits into everyday life, without effort.

Spreading out the fabric scraps and letting my imagination wander—wondering what to make next—while wrapped in this blanket has become one of my most relaxing moments.

These fabric scrap sets from mina perhonen bring beloved textiles into our hands in the form of small, precious pieces.

The time spent carefully choosing them in-store, and the quiet moments at home, wrapped in a blanket and thinking about how to use them—both have become irreplaceable touches of color in my everyday life.

Whether you’re skilled at handmade crafts, or simply someone like me who enjoys dreaming about what to create someday, I hope you’ll find your own special set at a mina perhonen store or through their online shop.
