Kimono Dress Gown and string belt upcycled from Genuine vintage Japanese kimono
This piece was created from a vintage Furisode (振袖), a highly formal silk kimono traditionally worn by unmarried women on special occasions in Japan. The original garment has been carefully reimagined as a contemporary gown, preserving the beauty and craftsmanship of the vintage textile.
Our vision is to give vintage kimono a new life as elegant outerwear—pieces that can be worn, appreciated, and integrated into contemporary wardrobes around the world.
This fabric is called "shibori" 絞り
Kimonos are dyed and embroidered using a variety of techniques, one of which is the “tie-dyeing” technique.
This is a technique in which fabrics are dyed by binding them with threads or sandwiched with a device to prevent dyeing, and then dyed with dyestuffs to create complex patterns.
With gold thread embroidery: Kinkomashishu 金駒刺繍 is a technique in which thick gold thread, which would not pass through a needle hole, is wound around a wooden piece, rolled along the pattern, and sewn onto the cloth with fine thread.
Kinkomashishu is one of the traditional Japanese embroidery techniques used with yuzen dyeing and other techniques, and is especially known for being applied to furisode (long-sleeved kimono) and high-class kimonos. It has a delicate and unique beauty.
I and the sewing team upcycled this kimono piece.

from 126 reviewsBeen 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!
Excellent quality fabric and craftmanship! Very happy with my sheer Kimono, I got it for my mom and she was beyond happy with it
Wearing this dress, I feel so regal and beautiful. I can see the craftsmanship and care that went into it and I treasure it greatly. It’s an honor to wear. I’m so grateful to MACHIKO Kimono for finding and creating these gorgeous pieces and bringing life back to items with history. Shipping was so fast and it arrived in a keepsake container. Thank you!!
