SKU: Ki-13
$290.00Price
Vintage Japanese kimono, selected for its textile quality, craftsmanship, and wearability. Traditionally worn as robes, these garments lend themselves naturally to contemporary dressing.
- Era: Early-mid Shōwa period (c. 1940s–1950s)
- Textile: Kasuri double cat woven in raw silk. Both warp and weft threads are pre-patterned before weaving, producing the softened edges and layered visual depth characteristic of this technically demanding technique. The design is a striking example of post-war Japanese abstraction. Nested rectangles and linear forms are arranged in an asymmetrical grid across a saturated crimson ground, creating a composition that recalls the graphic language of mid-century modernism while remaining distinctly Japanese in its execution.
- 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
