'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.

'Matsuri' Kimono
$200.00
-
This glorious reddish-pink, textured-silk vintage Kimono has a fine plaid pattern with threads of pale silver, black and indigo running through it and is as fun and energetic as the festival (matsuri) it is named after. It is lined in gold and maroon silk.
Condition
While the outside of this kimono is immaculate - there is extensive age spotting covering the gold part of the lining - meaning that it is best worn tied with a sash or hung on the wall as textile art. It might be worth investigating removing or replacing the lining if you wish to wear it as an open jacket.

'Murasakino' Haori
Sold Out
-
The striking appeal of Japanese hand-dyed Shibori textiles speaks for itself. This 'Murasakino' purple Haori jacket is resplendent in floral patters and motifs, their exquisite design creating a unique garment.
Each tiny repeating pattern which makes up the overall design is the result of a dedicated shibori artist wrapping string around tiny bubbles of silk fabric - the colour doesn't take underneath the string when dipped. When the fabric has dried each string is undone by hand. The result is incredible. It takes many months just for this process alone to be completed. The fabric is then hand-sewn into Kimono form and lined in silk.
The creamy silk inner lining features the smart kikkou 'tortoise shell' pattern, itself, representing long life. The hexagons are in turn punctuated with auspicious Japanese motifs including maple leaves, bamboo grass and Chrysanthemum blooms.
Tailored to wear open - it would look equally stunning over a dress as it would teamed with jeans and a t-shirt or smart trousers and a blouse. Murasakino also makes a striking talking piece when hung on the wall as textile art.
The overall condition of this vintage garment is excellent, despite some very minor age spotting on the reverse side of the sleeves.

'Nene no Sensu' Kimono
$160.00 $320.00
-
The shimmering satin finish on this musk pink 'Nene's fans' vintage kimono feels incredibly luxurious to the touch. The bottom half of the silk Kimono is decorated with Jacquard fan motifs of varying sizes and there are tiny jacquard springtime raindrops covering most of the material. The lining is plain white silk.
At the top under the collar is a Paulonia flower inside a circle which is the Kamon (family crest) of those with the surname of Toyotomi. The original clan leader was a famous samurai lord who played an important part in Japanese history and was both popular and highly controversial throughout his life - he is known as one of the three unifiers of Japan. His wife was Nene.
In immaculate condition generally however there are a couple of barely noticeable squareish marks on the outside of the lower part of the kimono's back.
This would make a stunning robe for the romantic, tied with a sash or hung in a a pretty bedroom.

'Pinkuchō' Haori

These gorgeous braided or woven 100% silk cords are used as the top layer tie over wider obi's. They traditionally 'finish' the look of the layered Kimono ensemble but we like to use them to tie kimono we wear as robes or dressing gowns. I've used them instead of a chain for bold jewellery - and they can look great as a thin belt over a simple dress. I've seen people use them as curtain ties too!
They are also great for those handy with a needle and thread and other crafty types - lovely drawstrings or handles for bags etc.
Condition - New.
