SKU: Ki-15
$320.00Price
Vintage Japanese 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: Hand-tied and dyed, all over Sō-Shibori featuring hundreds of thousands of individually tied bindings, creating a highly dimensional field of cloth. Sweeping ribbon-like forms cascade through the textile in Kanze-sui - a traditional stylised motif of flowing water. Rooted in classical Noh theater aesthetics and zen philosophy, Kanze-sui represents the fluid, ever-changing nature of time, resilience, and the beauty of life’s continuous journey. Rendered in a rare palette of pale celadon blue, misty slate blue, and a sunset-tinted coral-pink ombre along the hem, this piece seamlessly bridges centuries-old symbolism with a strikingly modern, graphic silhouette.
- 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
