Let customers speak for us
Amazing customer service, quick shipping, and it arrived absolutely in great condition! If anyone is looking to source quality vintage kimonos or have someone upcycle the gorgeous fabrics, I would 100% recommend Machiko!
So, my first kimono. Machiko sama helped me choose the perfect one according the my climate and purposes. I was going to wear it while travelling (at the airport and train stations), but when I received the package, I realized it would be a waste because kimono is so trendy. It made a splash at work. All the girls wanted to take pictures with me and the guys were jealous :):):).
I recently purchased a traditional Japanese silk kimono, and it’s simply delightful! The silhouette of the kimono is incredibly graceful, with the fabric beautifully accentuating the figure and flowing softly with every movement. The silk has a very pleasant texture, feeling like a gentle touch on the skin. I wore the kimono to a music concert, and it was amazingly comfortable to move and dance in. The flowing shape of the sleeves added a special elegance to every gesture, creating an effect of lightness and smoothness. It was just perfect—not too hot, not too cold—so I could fully enjoy the evening event in complete comfort. I’m very happy with this purchase!🫶🏻🌸💗
Beautiful and well-kept. Soft and great fabric. Machiko-san has great customer service skills as well. I am looking forward to wear it and will order again definitely!

Wonderful color. The details of the fabric are stunning. Perfectly cared.
It is a textile beauty. The details are so well cared. I am very pleased with all the purchase experience and with the Haori.
All the way from Japan to Croatia in less than 10 days!
Machiko san was super helpful and so sweet in our communication.
I'm so glad I found her page. Everything is so gorgeous but this haori was love at first sight.
Haori is stunning, so soft, feels good on my skin and got many compliments for it. Felt beautiful wearing it.
Love it that I can wear it on both sides. Inside of haori is something else. Gorgeous drawings and pattern.
This review doesn't do justice to this gorgeous haori.
It won't be my last purchase from this store.
Machiko san you made this girl very happy. Arigato gozaimasu!
Communication was great, my kimono was dry cleaned before being sent to me. It came beautifully wrapped and was even more stunning then the pictures.
I ordered this roll of beautiful vintage silk tanmono from Machiko San, and I am so happy that I did! It is a gorgeous woven silk: double-sided. It appears to be woven from kasuri dyed silk threads. One side is deep indigo blue, the other a rich red. There are actually two layers of woven silk, integrated together with wavy lines. I have never seen this style of fabric before, it is very special!
My order arrived in 8 days, shipped from Japan to the US. Machiko San was so good about sending emailed updates and tracking information. The carrier required a signature when it arrived at my house, which I appreciate.
As with many vintage fabrics, this tanmono had an odor to it. I took a chance, after doing some research, and hand washed the fabric instead of dry cleaning. I first hand washed it in cool water using a natural detergent. Next I hand washed it using Synthrapol, which helps remove excess dye. After rinsing, I hand washed one more time using Retayne, which helps keep the dye from bleeding any further. A lot of dye came out of the fabric through the process, but it appears to be exactly the same color now that it is dry, clean, and ironed. I dried it on a clothing rack outdoors in the sunshine, then ironed it using a steam iron. I was lucky that hand washing worked well, and did not change the fabric. Please use your own best judgement, and perhaps wash a small test piece before washing an entire vintage tanmono.
Thank you, Machiko San! I am a happy customer!
It's a lovely jacket that was so well made.

Gorgeously made & packed very lovingly! This is my first official kimono (regardless of being upcycled) & I will find any excuse to wear it 💜✨️
The reconstructed kimono is absolutely stunning. Machiko was very communicative and helpful. The package it was delivered in was also gorgeous.
