The front panel is patchworked from 100% silk kimono textiles from Japan, dating back to the early 20th century. Zero waste by design, each rectangle panel is hand-cut and reassembled to create a unique new fabric panel.
It is combined with a black kurotomesode, 黒留袖 (a formal black kimono typically worn by married women for ceremonial occasions), and mid-century Oshima Tsumugi, 大島紬 (a finely woven silk from Amami Oshima, known for its lightweight and intricate patterns created through traditional mud-dyeing and ikat techniques).
The original kimono seams are preserved, honoring the garment's history and craftsmanship with unique patterns that have stood the test of time.
Unisex, relaxed fit with a loose, unstructured silhouette. Shell buttons, 1930s-1960s. Each garment is cut individually by hand. One of a kind.
