ABOUT KIMONO⁺on
Kimono upcycling is the process of adding new designs and innovations to kimonos that are not worn as much in modern Japan, transforming them into items of greater value than their original state. The kimonos used by our brand are all vintage and one-of-a-kind pieces. Each one has a history of over 50 years, ranging from kimonos that have been sleeping in the back of an old folk house's chest to those that have been inherited from friends but are no longer worn. We aim to rescue these kimonos, breathe new 'life' into them as part of our brand's fashion, and pass them on to women around the world.
Yes. We mainly use vintage and pre-loved kimono textiles from Japan. By giving these beautiful fabrics a new life, we create contemporary fashion while preserving their unique character and history.
It is 100% silk. Silk is a very smooth and pleasant material to the touch, which easily creates a glossy appearance and gives a luxurious finish. Additionally, due to its low thermal conductivity, it keeps you cool in summer and warm in winter, and its moisture retention makes it less prone to static electricity. Many people gain confidence and can behave with dignity when wearing silk fabrics, and its noble atmosphere makes it likely for them to be regarded with respect by others.
Many of our products are one-of-a-kind or produced in very limited quantities because we use vintage kimono textiles. Each kimono has its own colors, patterns, and available fabric, making every piece unique.
