Let customers speak for us
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.

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.
Ordered a kuromontsuki haorii as a gift to myself and wore it on my birthday. This is the best piece that I bought for myself so far. Vintage, original, perfect condition! Delivery was fast and I had a consultation before making my order. Everything was packed with love and style. I absolutely loved it. I would like to thank Machiko-san for making my dream come true and for what she does! Thank you!
It was a gift and it was greatly appreciated! the kimono is awesome, of excellent fabric and the designs are original. furthermore the seller is very kind and helpful 😊, completely satisfied ❤️
I got this beautiful set and I love it so much! it is in such an amazing quality, especially when you remember that it is a vintage article! I love how light it is and can't wait to wear it often.
Ordering and shipping were super easy and everything was packed with so much love and care!
The haori was dispatched and arrived quickly, in beautiful condition and is absolutely stunning in person. I am thrilled and can’t wait for an occasion to wear it out.
In love with my Haori and Kimono pants, they surprisingly functional and draw a lot of positive attention. Even in the cold I stay warm with just a simple sweater underneath. The fabric is very luxurious and feels great on the skin. There’s a lot of shops selling Kimono fabrics and none of them come close to this. Honestly the prices are beyond reasonable for what you are getting. It’s a big purchase but it will be one of your best outfits and it will bring you joy and pleasant memories not to mention great photos 😊. Thank you Machiko-Kun you have incredible taste and are a cut above the rest. I know it’s hard work sourcing these vintage fabrics and adapting it to a modern style that still appeals to even traditionalists. So happy I found you and your art, it has made my life more beautiful and wonderful 💕💕💕

I love this piece and the gorgeous color. The craftsmanship is exquisite and the price is a steal if you ask me seeing this is vintage one of a kind silk. When you wear these kimonos you become a walking art display. Ignore the price and buy now as these are all one-offs and they go quickly. Machiko-kun is a wonderful person and she helped me to figure out exactly what I needed and was very communicative. Thank you for this wonderful piece 💕
