A black, pure silk haori kimono jacket with abstract flowers on black silk with a fine line in the weave. Exquisite, hand printed textile art.
Complete with silk haori himo (front ties) usually bought separately.
Traditionally haori are worn loose over kimono and obi but they also look wonderful with contemporary clothing, either casual with the likes of jeans or smart with a dress or skirt ensemble. They look especially good when cinched in at the waist with a sash or belt.
Awase (lined). Fully lined in silk too
Hand tailored in silk thread
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
