Kimonos
The kimono can be traced back as far at the Heian Period (794-1185). It was widely worn by Japanese nobility. Kimonos are no longer worn in Japan as everyday clothing, more for special occasions such as weddings or festivals. In latter years Kimonos have become somewhat of a fashion statement in the west. Worn as lounge wear in the home, or by fashionista’s wanting to stand out. 2024 sees a comeback of the kimono in many forms. We love the idea of vintage Kimonos, or bespoke made Kimonos from vintage fabrics!
