SKU: Ki-5
$280.00Price
Vintage Japanese haori kimono, selected for its textile quality, craftsmanship, and wearability. Traditionally worn as robes, these garments lend themselves naturally to contemporary dressing.
- Era: Late Shōwa period (c. 1970s–1980s)
- Textile: Machine-printed Bingata-style floral motif. Bingata is a traditional stencil-dyeing technique originating from Okinawa, featuring bold, graphic black outlines that isolate each bright pigment. The pattern showcases a dense all-over seasonal floral cluster (often called Hyakka-ryoran, meaning "a hundred flowers blooming in sweet profusion"). It includes stylized peonies (the king of flowers, symbolizing wealth and nobility) and layered chrysanthemums (symbolizing longevity and rejuvenation).
- Silhouette & fit: A generous, unstructured cut with wide sleeves and fluid drape. Designed as a one-size form that layers easily and moves across seasons and body types.
- Styling: Traditionally worn as robes, these pieces can be worn open over dresses or tailored separates for everyday ease, or styled as a statement layer for evening and occasion wear. They are equally suited to display as textile art when not in use.
- Condition: As vintage textiles, signs of age and wear are expected. Small stains, repairs, fading, loose stitching, or minor tears may be present and are part of each garment’s history.
- All orders come lovingly packed in recycled silk bags
