Made to Order, from the 愛 Collection: a hakama-style skirt, upcycled from two to three vintage tsumugi kimono brought together into a single piece.

This listing is the order form for a made-to-order skirt. The photos show this style in its original fabrics, a one-of-a-kind piece. Your skirt will be made in the same style, from different vintage kimono that we choose together with you. The haori worn in the photos is not included.

The price shown is the base price. After you order, we will email you photos of the vintage kimono we can offer for your skirt, and take your measurements. If you would prefer a fabric beyond these — a kimono we would need to source specially for you — an additional cost applies; we will always confirm the amount with you before we begin.

[Material] Silk (see our note on how we determine fabric content: About Material Composition) The skirt lining is 100% polyester.
[Care] Dry clean only
[Packing] MACHIKO KIMONO original kimono box

*Made-to-order production takes up to 3 months. Once your skirt is made, it is sent for professional kimono cleaning; please allow a further 7–10 business days before shipment.

SKIRT
Hakama-style skirt, made to your measurements and upcycled by 愛 and me from carefully chosen vintage kimono. Unisex. The skirt is lined; the lining is a newly added polyester fabric.
[Size] Made to your measurements. This style usually takes two to three kimono; if your measurements call for more fabric, we will contact you before we begin.

The kimono in these photos are tsumugi. A note on this fabric: "Tsumugi"
Kimono can be broadly divided into two fabric types: yarn-dyed ("ORI") and post-dyed ("SOME").
Yarn-dyed fabrics ("ORI") are dyed while still in the thread, then woven. Typical examples are "tsumugi", "omeshi", and cotton "kasuri". Tsumugi is especially popular in Japan today, often in simple designs.
Post-dyed fabrics ("SOME") are woven from undyed white thread, then finished with techniques such as "komon", "bingata", or "yuzen" dyeing. I feel that the kimono people overseas imagine is usually this "SOME" type — the smooth, glossy, satin-like silk of a yuzen kimono or scarf.
The skirt in these photos is made from "Oshima Tsumugi" kimono — one of several distinct styles of tsumugi weave. Its finely patterned, tightly woven surface sets it apart from other tsumugi, with a dry, textured, matte character quite different from the smooth, liquid feel of satin silk. That distinctive texture is the nature of tsumugi, not a flaw.
Every kimono we use is vintage and one of a kind, and so is each skirt we make.

ABOUT MATERIAL COMPOSITION

Most vintage and antique kimono and haori do not have fabric composition labels. These garments were custom-tailored for individual clients, and the material details were rarely recorded directly on the garment.

Today, only mass-produced kimono sold in major retail stores include such tags. Traditionally tailored kimono—even those made in recent decades—usually do not have any sewn-in fabric composition labels.

As a result, determining the exact composition of vintage fabrics is not always possible. Based on my experience as a licensed antique art dealer and upcycling artist, I examine the fabric using visual texture, burn tests, and the known age of the kimono to make an educated guess.



If I’m confident it is 100% silk, I will label it as such.

If the fabric shows characteristics of mixed fibers or modern synthetics, I will label it as “silk & more.”

Please understand that:

I do my best to make careful judgments, but these are not lab-certified.

If you require an exact determination, I recommend using a fabric testing service in your country.

Many kimono are hand-sewn by specialized Japanese artisans called “wasai-shi”. In rural Japan, it was common during the post-war years for farmers to sew kimono during winter months for clients in cities like Kyoto or Tokyo.

I continue this tradition by giving new life to these beautiful garments. Thank you for your understanding and support.
