'Aka Keisei' Kimono
$220.00
-
This vibrant, vintage 'Red Siren' Kimono in textured silk feels as sensational as it looks. The weave's plaid pattern is made with fine black threads and the bold lining is in red and pink silk.
While this traffic stopping number will inevitably attract attention - the bonus element is that red is energising and deflects negativity according to the Japanese - the very best kind of party attire! A true conversation starter!
Of course the 100% silk Aka Keisei would look pretty amazing hung as wall art too.
Externally this kimono is in immaculate condition - there are very minor age spots on inside lining. Superb.
Note - Please Read before purchase:
Kimonos are generally made, for wearing traditionally tied with an Obi sash, on smaller framed, not too tall bodies - however if worn as an open jacket there is generally enough room in the sleeve area and in length to be worn by several sizes larger and taller than originally intended. However there is no guarantee it will sit perfectly on your body shape. Let's call it freestyle!
As we take every measure to ensure you are advised of the correct sizing prior to purchase - we ask you to please be aware that we don't refund for garments chosen in error. Please don't hesitate to contact us with any queries regarding dimensions before purchase.
All vintage and antique kimono and haori were hand made. Therefore you may see some loose, temporary stitches around edges of sleeves, hems and collars on our kimonos. These stitches, called shitsuke ito, are kept in place to assist the valuable kimono in retaining its shape and alignment. In Japan the stitches are normally removed before wearing then restitched again after cleaning and before storage, for the same reasons as above. We like the look of authenticity they bring so feel free to retain them if you like, or remove them before wearing.

'Amaterasu' Kimono
$220.00
-
We imagine the sun goddess Amaterasu would have looked perfect in this vintage silk Kimono. So very bright, happy and bold. Glowing deep vermilion this sacred colour deflects negative energy. Hints of gold , black and white suggest luxury, elegance and purity.
Almost perfect condition - just a couple of tiny age spots on the inside lining. Superb.

'Furutta' Kimono
$220.00
-
We named this 100% silk vintage Kimono 'Furutta', meaning different or eccentric, for its truly unusual design. We've never seen another one quite like this.
However the 60's introduced a new trend in Kimono style and colours and this is a great example.
Kimono makers have always had a knack for putting together seemingly disconnected colours and patterns and making them work. The colouring of this almost copper brown background with white, black, ochre and pale khaki looks as though there could have been an African influence - the lining colour is a duo of peach and lemon gelato.
Wear as a long jacket, robe or as intended - wrapped with an Obi or or other traditional sash.
Excellent condition - only very slight age marks on inner lining and watermark on inner sleeve.

'Fuyuzora' Kimono
$220.00
-
This elegant, silk kimono reminds us of the Japanese winter sky (fuyuzora) on a silvery hued day as the snow is about to fall. Small birds are seen here scurrying about in the breeze drawn to glowing red lantern light. At least that's our interpretation and we're sticking to it.
Lined with a warming blood-red and snowy white silk - this vintage piece would make a splendid lightweight winter coat but would look equally as elegant displayed on the wall.
Excellent condition with a few minuscule age spots on inner lining.

'Hamura' Haori
$190.00
-
This striking, textured silk Haori from Kyoto features black and white shibori (tie dye) with red highlights and is lined with light pearlescent material and a faint purple daimond pattern.
Hamura means leafy foliage - to us the design suggests peeking through leaves at a festival of glowing lanterns or fireworks. It could of course represent the white and pink mochi balls found attached to branches as part of the new year celebration. Whatever way you frame it this haori says 'party!'. How will you be celebrating in your new haori?
Perhaps wear as an open jacket over a t-shirt with jeans or a black top and flowing wide leg pants or instantly glam up a simple black dress by tying at the front or leaving open.
While the haori is silk the lining is acrylic
Pristine condition.

'Hanabishi' Obi
$125.00 $250.00
-
This wide vintage Obi sash for Kimono features gold, red, black and white coloured silk brocade in a repetitive hexagonal 'turtoise' pattern with wishes of long life, luck and happiness. Hanabishi is the diamond flower shape. The underside is plain black silk.
This type of Obi would traditionally have been worn at ceremonies and celebrations by noble folk and make an excellent special occasion gift - as a hanging art-piece, decorative runner for a dining table, sideboard or foot of your bed. Wishing them the very best of luck, happiness and long life.
If you are really far more clever and crafty than we will ever be - shorten the obi to turn into a wall hanging, or place mats and table runner or even cushion covers or mix with other obi to re-cover a fabric bed head - perhaps even sew into several clutch or shoulder bags - keep one for yourself and gift or sell the rest!
In perfect condition on both the front, embroidered side and the black silk backing.
Note - Please Read before purchase:
