In the world of luxurious loungewear, silk robes are a cornerstone. A silk robe combines comfort with style and infuses your everyday routine with a bit of luxury. At KIM+ONO, while we know you can choose from a plethora of robe brands, we humbly assert that KIM+ONO silk robes and kimono wraps are a better choice than other brands. While many brands offer bathrobes, our kimono robes, wraps, and plus size silk robes go a step beyond just luxurious comfort (though, to be honest, we do that really well!). Our KIM+ONO silk robes are about a deeper story — yours and ours. Here’s a look at why KIM+ONO robes are a unique, artistic option and why you should choose a KIM+ONO kimono robe over other kimono robe brands.
A KIM+ONO charmeuse and silk robe is not just another piece of clothing in your closet; it’s a wearable work of art. Every modern silk robe and kimono wrap is designed in-house in San Francisco by co-founders and sisters Renee and Tiffany Tam. Each design features a stunning, handcrafted scene, drawing inspiration from nature, our founders’ heritage, cultural motifs, and vintage Asian art. From our plus size silk robes to our men’s kimono robe collection, attention to artistic detail is paramount. We showcase vibrant colors and intricate patterns rich with meaning. For instance, the cherry blossoms symbolism is a thematic element woven through many styles in different ways — as a backdrop or the main element. Putting focus on the cherry blossom’s symbolism, the meaning behind the peacock, or the energy of certain florals like the lily or the lotus brings deeper meaning to your experience each time you wear your silk robe. This artistic intention sets KIM+ONO apart from many other kimono brands that often rely on basic patterns or solid colors.
The unique designs of KIM+ONO kimono wraps and robes make them versatile enough to be worn in various settings. Whether you’re lounging at home, hosting friends, or heading to the beach, these robes transition seamlessly from day to night. Wear your plus size silk robe as a lightweight jacket over a little black dress, or wear your kimono wrap over jeans and a t-shirt for a sleek brunch look. No matter how you wear it, your kimono wrap’s and robe’s adaptability makes them a beautiful and powerful investment in your style.
KIM+ONO prioritizes the use of high-quality, lightweight fabrics that feel luxurious against your skin. Our Silk Collection uses the highest grade silk — 100% Grade 6A Raw Mulberry Silk. Our Charmeuse Collection, which includes our kimono wraps, uses 100% polyester fiber with a charmeuse weave, which decreases static and increases a fluid, liquid drape. Both materials are luxuriously soft and feel like you’re wrapping up in a cloud. They are each carefully selected for their softness and breathability, ensuring maximum comfort no matter the temperature. Unlike many other brands that may use cheaper fabrics, KIM+ONO robes are designed to last while providing a luxurious wearing experience.
In addition to being soft and breathable, KIM+ONO’s fabrics are durable and easy to care for. Our Washable Silk and Charmeuse Collections can be washed at home by following laundering instructions. And our Handpainted Silk and Printed Silk Collections can be easily dry cleaned. All of our charmeuse and silk robes can be lightly steamed to release wrinkles. This means you can enjoy the luxurious feel of your robe without worrying about wear and tear or complicated washing instructions.
When you purchase a KIM+ONO plus size silk robe or ‘one size fits most’ kimono wrap, you’re purchasing from a brand that prioritizes sustainability and ethical production practices. In addition to our focus on responsible sourcing and manufacturing processes, we also prioritize paying our artisans and staff a fair wage and comfortable, healthy, and safe working conditions. These values are of the utmost importance to us, so when you are drawn into the beauty of the cherry blossoms symbolism on your favorite kimono wrap, you can feel good knowing your purchase helps to create fair and equitable working conditions for everyone on our team. We are dedicated to making sustainable choices from our packaging to our warehouse facilities because we prioritize the beautiful natural world we live in. While we are always moving toward being a greener company, our upgraded packaging, water reduction efforts, and recycling efforts make each and every kimono robe and wrap a more sustainable one.
Each KIM+ONO silk robe is handcrafted by talented artisans in China’s Silk Village who our founders’ family has been partnering with for decades. From the hand sketching to the hand stitching to the finishing touches, every element of these charmeuse and silk robes meet the highest standards of quality. Our Limited Edition Handpainted Silk Collection even takes 7 days to create from start to finish, unlike any other kind of robe like this. This level of craftsmanship is often lacking in mass-produced robes from other brands, which can compromise on quality for the sake of cost and efficiency.
KIM+ONO kimono robes are designed with luxurious comfort in mind. The traditional T-shaped kimono fit is carefully considered to ensure ease of movement while providing a flattering silhouette or all body shapes. Whether you’re wearing a ‘one size fits most’ or plus size silk robe, this thoughtful approach to design creates a luxurious wearing experience, so you can feel confident in your own skin.
Our silk robes are made to be gifted. Our unique designs and luxurious feel make them a thoughtful, head-turning choice for birthdays, holidays, or any special occasion where you want to send a little extra love to your friends and family. While other kimono brands may offer more generic options, a KIM+ONO silk robe comes hand folded and hand tied, placed in a cotton drawstring bag, and you have the option of adding on Furoshiki Gift Wrap service to any piece you choose. You can create a full unboxing experience for your gift recipient with just a few clicks at checkout.
