SKU: Ki-8
$260.00Price
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: Mid-late Shōwa period (c. 1960s–1970s)
- Textile: The surface is built from thousands of hand-pinched and tied Sō-Shibori dots, creating a dense field of resist-dyed texture across the silk. Abstract peony motifs are formed through Hatake-shibori and multi-colour capping techniques, where selected areas are carefully bound before being reworked with additional dye applications and a final vat immersion. This layered process produces motifs that sit within, rather than on top of, the ground of shibori texture.
- 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
