The Thoughtful Handcrafted Process Behind our Handpainted Silk Robes

One of the most unique aspects of our entire collection is the production process behind the Handpainted Silk Collection. It takes seven days from start to finish to create just one of these handcrafted Handpainted Silk robes for women. It starts with a hand-drawn sketch, a rich saturation of watercolors on 100% silk to create a one of a kind piece that is unique as she is. You can see the full process of these silk robes for women on our YouTube page to see the entire design process and how our artisans saturate the silk. It’s an intricate process that our partner artisans have been perfecting for decades, and creates a piece that is one of a kind, one that can’t be duplicated due to its handcrafted nature. If you really want to wow someone you love this Valentine’s Day, the Handpainted Silk Collection are the silk robes for you.

The Handcrafted Details in Every Silk and Plus Size Kimono Robe

Whether you’re shopping our ‘one size fits most’ collection or our Plus Size Kimono Robe Collection, each and every piece is handcrafted with the details that mean the most to you and your love. For starters, our ‘one size fits most’ and plus size kimono robes are offered in Charmeuse, Silk, and Washable Silk. The inner ties add an extra level of security to the wrap offered by the outer sash. The tag is not a hang tag (we highly recommend hanging these on hangers) so as not to tear the delicate material. And at the bottom of each hem are side slits that help the pieces lay flat during shipment. You can easily snip those extra stitches before wearing so that your silk robe flows and sways your way whenever you’re walking.

Family Heritage and a Modern Vision

A kimono — literally translated as “the thing worn”— is a work of art, a vibrant canvas draped over the wearer that, as history states, is as integral to her persona as her own physical attributes. Our T-shaped silk robes for women are designed with elegance and function in mind to create classic kimono robes that make for a sophisticated staple to any wardrobe — no matter how you wear it, it elevates your day. While our modern kimono robes do not replicate traditional Japanese kimono, they are heavily inspired by the craftsmanship and functionality of these historical garments, as well as our founders’ own families’ Chinese and Japanese heritages, experiences with kimono as young girls, and vintage Asian art. Our kimonos draw inspiration from the various styles of traditional Chinese brushwork, capturing the artistic principles of depth, contrast, space, and balance. Many of our robes feature romantic, tranquil scenes of timeless botanicals that bear significance. For example, the lotus flower symbolizes good luck and fortune, a sentiment we wish to share with our customers. Our kimonos are designed in San Francisco. Inspired by vintage Asian art and the timeless beauty of botanicals, we work to highlight trending seasonal colors, and choose palettes that compliment various skin tones and complexions. Our creative juices flow best when we unwind to our favorite music, focus on serenity, take deep breaths and allow our minds to be free. And when you gift one of these pieces to the one you love, they’ll feel the blend of heritage and modern day mentality in every touch of silk.
