Each item is made from rare vintage and antique silk kimono textiles, often only enough for one or two garments. Once the textile is gone, that exact shade, weave, or pattern can’t be sourced again.
Wool pinstripe deadstock and 100% silk haori 羽織 (a traditional Japanese jacket worn over a kimono originally designed for samurai as a practical outer layer for warmth and protection), textiles from Japan, and hand-stitched silk kimono panels. The hand-stitched silk kimono panels are meticulously assembled from repurposed scraps, with every seam and detail entirely stitched by hand, honoring traditional craftsmanship and zero-waste design.
Hand-painted yuzen-zome 友禅染 (a traditional Japanese dyeing technique using rice paste as a resist to create intricate, hand-painted patterns) silk kurotomesode kimono. This method allows for precise detailing and vibrant color gradations, featuring a sakura pattern along the wearer's right sleeve. The original kimono seams and motifs are preserved, honoring the garment's history and craftsmanship. Zero-waste design through patchwork techniques.
Unisex, relaxed fit with a structured feel while maintaining the fluidity of silk. Shell buttons, 1930s-1960s. Raw edge detailing throughout. Each garment is cut individually by hand. One of a kind.

Size S: Front length 28" / Back length 31" / Chest 22" / Sleeve length from high point shoulder 29.5". Fits sizes S/M, depending on desired fit. The model is 5'5" and traditionally wears a size S.
