A silk, Japanese haori, with a wonderful lace illusion pattern. This is a silk with a weave that feels almost like cotton. Cute little Daruma on the lining. Belt not included - for display purposes only
A traditional, hand tailored garment
Awase (fully lined)
In Japan, haori are not normally worn with a sash or belt, they are worn loosely, on top of a kimono and obi, but they also look great with a belt and with western world clothing; see examples shown on the home page.
May have shitsuke-ito stitching around the edge; shitsuke-ito is loose, temporary stitching that the Japanese put in to keep edges neat during storage, it just gets pulled out before wearing. These are often a sign that the garment has never been used
Type: A Japanese haori, a long jacket, with swinging sleeves, traditionally worn over a Japanese kimono but also great worn with contemporary clthing. Especially nice when worn belted, with casual trousers or a smart skirt
Made in Japan
These Japanese garments should be hung out to air 4 times per year, if not worn frequently, just as the Japanese do. Hang your garment to air when you receive it too, as it will have been stored for a while

Condition:
Excellent - a tiny mark on the lining

Measurements:
Sleeve end to sleeve end: 124cm
Sleeve seam to sleeve seam: 58cm
Length: 75cm
