VINTAGE HAORI
Vintage, carefully handpicked and in very good condition for its age. Traditionally, this style of haori was worn by Japanese men as a fashionable jacket. Here, I offer it styled differently — as a unisex, oversized layer to be worn casually. This is my own styling proposal, and I make it knowing it departs from convention.
[Condition] Very Good.

A note on this fabric: “Tsumugi” (woven, not dyed)
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.
This haori is an “Oshima Tsumugi” — 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 piece is vintage and one of a kind.

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!
