ON THE TOPIC OF MATERIAL COMPOSITION
ON THE TOPIC OF MATERIAL COMPOSITION
Antique and vintage Kimono and Haori do not have material composition labels. Material composition labels were a development that came with mass market clothing and as such when kimono are newly tailored, the final product is made to the original client's specification. Today however, ready-made products including kimono and yukata are also sold at major retail stores.
When you tailor your kimono in traditional way, you select a kimono fabric and tailor to your size.
Composition of the fabric is ONLY indicated on the fabric. Composition of fabric information was not traditionally provided in tailored kimono and even today kimono tailors do not generally include it in the garment.
In addition, most kimonos are tailored by hand. Kimonos are tailored by a special sewing professional called a "wasai-shi" (Japanese tailor or seamstress).
I am active as a licensed antique art dealer. And I am a kimono geek. Compositional judgments of vintage kimonos are not 100% accurate unless they are submitted to an inspection agency that can perform tests on the fabrics to determine their composition. I myself have a career as an upcycling artist. I have experimented with washing kimonos at home, and with burning fabrics and threads to determine their combustion reactions. If I am confident that the item is made of silk based on the assumed age of production and judgment of the fabric quality, I label it as 100% silk.
However, there are some very rare cases in which silk is used for the warp and synthetic fiber for the weft. This is not only the case with modern products, but also occasionally with older products in which synthetic fibers were first made available. There are also some modern products that are made of synthetic fibers that do not differ from very elaborate silk. For those that I have concerns about, I burn the threads and other materials to make a judgment, but without sophisticated test equipment, it is difficult to make an 100% accurate assessment judgment. For those that I am unsure about, I use the notation "silk & more". I take care in making these judgments based largely on my own experience, but cannot guarantee the accuracy beyond all doubt.
If you have a deep desire to determine the material composition I would recommend seeking out the services of a fabric testing lab near you.
Thank you for your understanding.

Wonderful color. The details of the fabric are stunning. Perfectly cared.
It is a textile beauty. The details are so well cared. I am very pleased with all the purchase experience and with the Haori.
All the way from Japan to Croatia in less than 10 days!
Machiko san was super helpful and so sweet in our communication.
I'm so glad I found her page. Everything is so gorgeous but this haori was love at first sight.
Haori is stunning, so soft, feels good on my skin and got many compliments for it. Felt beautiful wearing it.
Love it that I can wear it on both sides. Inside of haori is something else. Gorgeous drawings and pattern.
This review doesn't do justice to this gorgeous haori.
It won't be my last purchase from this store.
Machiko san you made this girl very happy. Arigato gozaimasu!
Communication was great, my kimono was dry cleaned before being sent to me. It came beautifully wrapped and was even more stunning then the pictures.
I ordered this roll of beautiful vintage silk tanmono from Machiko San, and I am so happy that I did! It is a gorgeous woven silk: double-sided. It appears to be woven from kasuri dyed silk threads. One side is deep indigo blue, the other a rich red. There are actually two layers of woven silk, integrated together with wavy lines. I have never seen this style of fabric before, it is very special!
My order arrived in 8 days, shipped from Japan to the US. Machiko San was so good about sending emailed updates and tracking information. The carrier required a signature when it arrived at my house, which I appreciate.
As with many vintage fabrics, this tanmono had an odor to it. I took a chance, after doing some research, and hand washed the fabric instead of dry cleaning. I first hand washed it in cool water using a natural detergent. Next I hand washed it using Synthrapol, which helps remove excess dye. After rinsing, I hand washed one more time using Retayne, which helps keep the dye from bleeding any further. A lot of dye came out of the fabric through the process, but it appears to be exactly the same color now that it is dry, clean, and ironed. I dried it on a clothing rack outdoors in the sunshine, then ironed it using a steam iron. I was lucky that hand washing worked well, and did not change the fabric. Please use your own best judgement, and perhaps wash a small test piece before washing an entire vintage tanmono.
Thank you, Machiko San! I am a happy customer!
It's a lovely jacket that was so well made.
Thanks for the shipment , the kimono is awesome .
All along the process machiko give you some news about your order .
Gorgeously made & packed very lovingly! This is my first official kimono (regardless of being upcycled) & I will find any excuse to wear it 💜✨️
The reconstructed kimono is absolutely stunning. Machiko was very communicative and helpful. The package it was delivered in was also gorgeous.
This haori is absolutely gorgeous. I had been looking at it for so long before I finally bought it and it's everything I wanted! Just beautiful. I also loved you package and the little details you added like the scarf and the ribbon and the card. I was speechless. Thank you so much! I'm looking forward to buying more clothes from you in the future! ありがとうございました !
Beautifully made silk pants from up cycled kimono. The quality of the fabric was what instantly amazed me- the way it drapes the legs as you wear ensures that it will definitely leave a lasting good impression. Machiko was so kind in answering my questions about fit, shipping and kindly offered complimentary hemming. I highly recommend their clothes!
Magnifique Kimono, emballage soigné, expédition rapide, produit fidèle aux photos.
Vendeuse de confiance et produit fantastique qui a fait son effet.
