OUR MISSION: Beauty in the Everyday
At KIM+ONO, our mission is simple: to bring beauty and intention into your everyday life. Designed in-house in San Francisco by sisters and co-founders, Renee and Tiffany Tam, our pieces support the modern individual while honoring traditions passed down for generations. Each kimono robe style is created to help you feel confident, serene, and effortlessly yourself.
OUR STORY
Founded by sisters Renee and Tiffany Tam, KIM+ONO is a way of weaving timeless artistry and intention into everyday life. Every design begins with a hand-drawn sketch painted in watercolors, inspired by vintage Asian art and the quiet beauty of botanicals. From there, each kimono is brought to life through generations-old craftsmanship in China’s Silk Village.
Stitched Into Every Kimono Design
Since taking over the family business, Renee and Tiffany have reimagined the brand around one guiding principle: pairing timeless techniques with modern aesthetics. Their vision continues to celebrate family, artistry, and tradition—stitched into every kimono they design.
OUR CRAFT
Bringing Art to Life
Our kimono robes 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. Each design incorporates symbols of wellness and serenity, sentiments we wish to share with our customers.
Handcrafted by Family of Artisans
Every kimono is handcrafted by the same family of artisans in China’s Silk Village—a small, family-run workshop the Tam sisters have partnered with for decades. This blend of heritage and modern design lies at the heart of everything we create.
We Believe Kimonos Are More Than Garments, They Are Modern Heirlooms
Designed to feel as good as they look, our silk and charmeuse robes are lightweight, versatile, and timeless, wrapping you in everyday beauty and comfort.
