A lovely, black, pure silk haori kimono jacket with a big swish of leaves on the back and a little one on the front, with gold detailing
Complete with silk himo (silk, braided front ties), usually bought separately
Authentic, vintage, Japanese haori jacket
Made and bought in Japan
100% silk, inside and out
Fully lined (awase)
Any large, loose, white stitching around the edges of my garments is just put there by the Japanese to keep edges neat during storage. These stitches are called shitsuke and are just pulled out before wearing
Haori do not overlap at the front and don't need an obi/sash. They can be worn closed, fronts edge to edge, tied under the edges with a himo (usually bought separately). They look equally fabulous when dressed up for evening wear or dressed down with jeans
It will be sent folded in the traditional way. The Japanese have a specific and clever way of folding kimonos that allows them to be opened up and worn without ironing every time, as the creases from the folds lie in such a way that they look smart. I will include instructions on how to fold the kimono in this manner
My Japanese garments are vintage items. I make every effort to inspect them for flaws and mention any I find in the listings with accompanying photos. It is always possible, though unlikely, that I have overlooked something but, if I have, it will be something very inconspicuous and I would never deliberately omit mentioning anything. I'm pretty confident, however, that if an item has any flaw, I will have spotted it and mentioned it in the listing, with accompanying photos. Being vintage items, a few smell a bit of mothballs, though most don't. Do not wash silk haori, dry clean only
