A one-of-a-kind piece from the 愛 Collection: a kimono skirt, upcycled by me and the 愛 team from a carefully chosen vintage homongi — the semi-formal kimono worn to weddings and ceremonies. Plum, iris, bellflower and tachibana — the auspicious wild citrus — follow winding streams and misted hills in soft coral pink, sage green and ivory, with gold outlines throughout. A slim, straight skirt with a front slit; the lining shows as you walk. Unisex. The skirt is lined; the lining is a newly added polyester fabric.
[Material] Silk (see our note on how we determine fabric content: About Material Composition). The skirt lining is 100% polyester.
*Dating is contemporary (modern).
[Care] Dry clean only
[Packing] Black packing box.
*This piece will be sent for professional kimono cleaning after purchase. Please allow about 7–10 business days from order to shipment.
[Size] Reference size: approx. US 2–4 / UK 6–8 / EU 34–36. The waistband is fixed (no stretch), so please check the measurements below. *Please see sizing illustration

Waist: approx. 34 cm / 13.39 inches (approx. 68 cm / 26.77 inches around)
Hip (30 cm / 11.81 inches below the top of the waistband): approx. 48 cm / 18.90 inches (approx. 96 cm / 37.80 inches around)

On the back of the skirt, there are two tiny gold dots on the outer fabric. These are tailor's marks, placed on the fabric when the kimono was originally sewn — not stains or damage.
Please refer to the photos for details.
*As all of our pieces are made by partially or fully disassembling the original kimono, there may be stains or slight damage common to vintage fabrics. Thank you for your understanding.

Let customers speak for us
I couldn't stop staring at it when I first received it!!! It is SO gorgeous and the skirt is so well made with very easy instruction on how to wear it- the attention to detail goes all the way into the packaging!!! Machiko san was so lovely and attentive, I genuinely appreciate all her hard work and her team <3 Will definitely be on the lookout for another ;)
I love it. It arrived packaged well and with care.
The piece itself is extremely beautiful and well made. I tried it on and it fit perfectly and my family and friends love it & I can style it different ways.
Thank you Machiko, I will definitely order more in the future.
Been trying to get my hands on one of these and it is AMAZING!! LOVE!
The shipping time was perfect, and I was so touched by the thoughtful, beautifully prepared packaging and the heartfelt note.
The fabric is absolutely beautiful, and the design is truly breathtaking.
Buy it now! You won’t regret it.!!
This skirt looks more beautiful than in the photos, and so well put together!
The Kimono looks and feels beautiful, and the packaging makes it an ideal gift (to self, or someone else). Great service and response time, very clear on what to expect - even reached out before sending the kimono when the fabric was different from described, to make sure I was happy moving forward. Would 100% buy again from this shop!
Meraviglioso! Di presenza il mio haori è ancora più bello e raffinato. Ho acquistato un'opera d'arte capace di emozionarmi solo al tatto. La confezione rispecchia le sapienti mani giapponesi. Grazie Machiko, non vedo l'ora di comprare altri capolavori.
Hello, I'm delighted with the experience. The haori is beautiful, and the packaging was lovely. Everything arrived in perfect condition.
Thank you so much, it's been a pleasure.
Absolutely stunning and unique piece. Will definitely be adding more
To my wardrobe!
Beautiful material and beautifully made. Arrived quickly. Wrapped with care, lovely!
I've always loved the beauty of kimono fabric, so I've bought nearly 10 kimono jackets (Haori羽織). This is my first time buying an upcycled
Furisode振袖, and it's absolutely dreamy. The weather in Taiwan is still too hot right now, but I'll wear it out on dates with friends once it cools down a bit! Thank you so much for your upcycling work, and it allows us foreigners to also experience the beauty of kimonos!
I ordered for my wife. Not only she was thrilled, but so was I. I have never seen such amazing attention to detail, care and love in a product. I was truly moved by this work of art. The incredible care with which the kimono was wrapped... And the kimono itself, absolutely amazing! We enjoyed it wonderfully.
“expectations met”. that would not be a fair statement. yes, the object of desire was precisely as promoted. but upon receipt there was a personalised message in a beautiful box. the feeling of being part of really good venture. upcycling. such joy! a meaningful purchase.
yet the most rewarding was to see my wife wearing it, enjoying it.
Everything about shopping with Machiko Komono was great. From the thoughtful packaging, personal letter, the fit and the quality of the skirt, all of it was so well crafted. I have already recommended this site to friends who saw my skirt.
I love my skirt so much and thank you for providing me a lovely experience. I cannot recommend enough
From the speed of shipping to the absolutely beautiful packaging of the haori, I am exceptionally impressed at the quality! The haori itself is more beautiful and finely tailored into its newer form (as purchased) that was imaged. When I opened the package and touched the material itself, I knew it was going to be a very special piece I would FIND occasions to wear it to. I will be purchasing from Machiko Kimono in the future knowing I will get a beautiful item!
