”Ever since I begun weaving, I have been in love with the textiles from Okinawa. When I founded this business in 1999, I needed a name, which is easy to remember & pronounce. Our name, "habu" comes from a name of a very poisonous snake, which is unique to Okinawa. In original characters, "ha" means "wave." "bu" means "fabric It is named so because when it moves, it moves like a fabric.” – quoted from Habu website
A poisonous Japanese snake was the inspiration for naming a textile/yarn company that has been intriguing customers with their unique fibers and fashion-forward designs. Their exploration into fabric gauge, drape and texture has resulted in expanding the ways we knit garments. And other designers have picked up on the trend.
