You know it when you feel it. The difference between high quality craftsmanship and low quality fast fashion is obvious. You can recognize the difference in how it feels on your skin, but you can also recognize the difference in how it makes you feel. There’s something so magical about owning a piece of clothing that feels like it was made by real people just for you. In a world of fast fashion and mass production, finding clothing that feels truly special — something that tells a story of the past and the future — is the true luxury. That’s exactly what our men’s and women’s kimono robes offer the wearer: the luxurious feeling of slow, intentional craftsmanship that honors both traditional artistry and modern individuality.
If you’ve ever slipped into one of our flower silk robes, you know the difference we’re talking about. It’s not just about looking elegant (although, trust us, you will). It’s about feeling quality against your skin — the way it drapes around your body, the way the silk moves with you, the way it instantly elevates your morning coffee routine or a night of unwinding. This is what makes extraordinary meaning out of an ordinary moment. So, how does our small batch production process make our women’s dusters and kimono robes so special? Read the journal and learn about these magical pieces and why you deserve a special kimono robe for yourself.
Handcrafted Quality Women’s Kimono Robes, Not Mass Produced
Mass-produced clothing is easy to find. You might not even notice it when you see it. But if you walk into most stores, you’ll find rows of identical garments, churned out in factories by the thousands at a time. They’re often made with the least expensive fabrics that don’t breathe as well as high quality fabrics, the material doesn’t hold up, and they feel like just another product off a rack — not a work of art. KIM+ONO does it differently.
Our floral silk robes are created in small batches by talented artisans in China’s Silk Village. Every detail, from the stitching to the handpainted designs, is done with care. The handcrafted techniques have been passed down from generation to generation, so the process itself is incredibly unique and unreplicable. Not only this, but our Limited Edition Handpainted Silk Collection takes seven days to craft one floral silk robe from beginning to end. When you run your fingers across the fabric, you’ll feel the difference — this is luxury that’s meant to be worn, loved, and treasured for years. It weaves together the personal and the historical into a flower silk robe that transcends time. Fast fashion is about quantity. But KIM+ONO is about quality — quality of craftsmanship, quality of materials, and quality of experience when you wear one of our women’s kimono robes.
We Take Customer Feedback about Our Women’s Dusters to Heart
Because we produce in small batches, we have the ability to listen, and most importantly, respond to what our customers want. You know that feeling when you love a piece of clothing, but you just wish the sleeves were a little longer, or perhaps it featured pockets?! We hear you when you make requests. We’ve adjusted our patterns, fabrics, and even the little details based on feedback from the people who actually wear our robes. We added pockets to our Kimono Wrap Collection at the request of customers. We added a Men’s Kimono Robe Collection, a Curve Plus Size Collection, Washable Silk, and more, all because there was a demand from our community and we wanted to make those pieces for you.
While big brands might take years to roll out new designs (if they ever do), we’re nimble enough to evolve with our customers. Our mission is to create women’s dusters and men’s robes that feel like they are made with you in mind — because they are.

Real People Are on the Other End of Every Order
Ever tried to get customer service from a big-box retailer? Endless phone menus, automated replies, and no real connection to the people behind the product. That’s not how we do things.
When you order one of our women’s kimono robes, real people are behind it. The same care that goes into making your robe extends to the entire experience — from answering your questions to hand-tying your order beautifully before it arrives at your door. Our small team of 10 cares about every single order that leaves our hands. We celebrate when you send us pictures of your mom in her kimono robe, when you tell us how a robe made you feel like you finally committed to your own self care, and when you come back to add another to your collection and allow yourself to indulge in what makes you feel good. There’s a certain warmth and personal touch that only comes from shopping small, and we wouldn’t have it any other way.

You Own a One-of-a-Kind Work of Art
Think of your favorite piece of clothing — the one you reach for over and over again. The one that makes you feel effortlessly chic, put together, and comfortable all at once. That’s what we want our women’s dusters to be for you. Each one is made with the artistic techniques that celebrate the depth and contrast of vintage Asian art. But our floral silk robes also draw inspiration from modern minimalism and beautifully contemporary palettes. Whether it’s the way the silk catches the light, the intricate handpainted details, or the liquid drape of its sophisticated silhouette, our kimono robes are wearable art. Owning one of our flower silk robes means you have something no one else does. It’s a statement piece, an heirloom in the making, a little piece of luxury just for you.
Every time you slip into one of our floral silk robes, you’re wrapping yourself in something that was made with intention and care. So, the next time you’re looking for a one-of-a-kind gift for yourself (or someone else), consider the beauty of a small batch luxury kimono robe.
