#kimono jacket

For sale (ebay)

A vibrant brown, black, and yellowy-gold Japanese kimono jacket. The fine woven patterns of leaves create a dense, rich texture under the lattice gate-like arabesque pattern. The lining is white with a woven pattern. This haori has been in my closet since the early 2000s but rarely worn. It's too hot in Florida!

The overlaid pattern reminds me somehow of late 80s American decor, or somehow Loreena McKennet or Enigma (music group.)

Smooth, with a heavier, stiff drape. The lining and outer fabric are certainly synthetic. That's common in modern kimono items since the lining would be stain-resistant and easy to wash. Haori are usually taken apart for washing and then retailoured every time it's put together. Some small issues. Please see the photos.

Excellent vintage condition.

I finished something for once! Although it’s none of the projects that should be finished by now.

Last weekend I quickly whipped up a short kimono style jacket from some leftover floral chiffon.

The lace on this is quite expensive and usually reserved for my l*lita projects but I felt self-indulgent.

“I'm wearing a white lace vintage dress with a white and red kimono jacket from Brooklyn Flea, a straw hat from Marché, and a pink corset. I wanted to match the vibe that I was feeling and I was feeling hopeless romantic. End of summer always makes me feel like falling in love. I wanted to wear light colors to make my kimono jacket stand out. The hat is one of my favorite pieces in my closet.”

I wasn’t able to add the cuttlegear logo to the parasol but the spokes are painted and the squid charm was added to the bottom.
