KIMONO DRESS GOWN AND STRING BELT UPCYCLED FROM JAPANESE KIMONO

These Kimono Dress Gowns and String Belts are crafted from vintage silk kimonos.
Each piece is hand-sewn by our sewing team, led by a Certified Master-Class Kimono Dressmaker (Ikkyū Wasaishi / 一級和裁士), who preserves the original beauty and structure of the kimono while transforming it into a contemporary form.
Machine sewing is used only for part of the belt(obi)-making process, and the belt is finished with traditional wasai techniques so that no stitches are visible on the surface.
These are one-of-a-kind pieces.
I personally handpick every kimono, selecting only those in very good condition for vintage garments.
