While we were inspired in part to make our modern kimono jackets by popular request, we also value the role of history in each of our pieces. If you’ve scrolled through any of our past blog posts, you know our company has deep roots. Both generational history from our family’s business in Chinatown over the decades, and the history of Japanese kimonos themselves have informed much of our designs and aesthetic. We have been inspired to make modern kimono robes for the modern woman and taken a lot of inspiration from the way traditional Japanese kimonos were worn. One of those pieces of traditional inspiration comes from the haori. The haori is a traditional Japanese kimono style jacket that falls at about your hips or mid-thigh. For some historical reference, between 1603 and 1868, the middle class economy was growing in Japan. This allowed the middle class to afford the haori, but also brought about laws against “ostentatious display of wealth by all but the warrior caste; this in turn gave birth to discreet haori designs with lavishly decorated lining”, according to Wikipedia. We love the idea that the haori and kimono could be for every person, and not just the ruling class. That’s partly why we like to “bring a little luxury to your everyday”. Because no matter who you are, you deserve to feel beautiful. So each time you wear one of our short kimono robes, and especially this kimono jacket, you’re weaving a little bit of history into your own modern look.
Our gorgeous new collection is the perfect palette for summer. This season is a time of infinite potential, with long days, exciting trips, and endless adventures. It brings back a sense of youthfulness and inspires us to move with ease and comfort. For that reason, we are thrilled to introduce to you our Fura Kimono Robe with a pastel palette worthy of those swoon-worthy summer days. This is a beautiful long kimono robe that is as wearable on those early mornings with a cup of coffee as it is as a beach or poolside cover up. This pastel beauty is a wonderful option to sway with you all day long from morning until night.
Our newest kimono robe collection features prints which are intentionally minimal. We want these beautiful botanical kimono patterns to create the feeling of a calming breath between each floral print. With the unhurried look of the Aimi Kimono Robe, you can slip into relaxation effortlessly. Lounge and meander around your house in this gorgeous, flowing drape that subtly sways around your hips and ankles. But if you’re looking for a piece to pop, this is a wonderful choice to bringing out the elegance in any wardrobe. Pair this minimal kimono pattern with equally minimal tones and layers to create a feeling of calm, relaxation, and as always, luxury. Whether it’s donned with a plain t-shirt and jeans or your favorite nightgown, the Aimi Kimono Robe is the sweet match for a soft and simple day.
Our Silk Kuren Kimono Robe has been a fan favorite, but this summer we’re kicking it up a notch. This brand new blue kimono robe in its mineral tones is a gorgeous addition to our pastel summer palette. You can feel free and easy in this beautiful piece with the mineral blue pulling out the botanical kimono patterns you love. This luxurious, handcrafted, 100% silk kimono robe is a piece of art that you can wear. Whether you’re heading out on vacation and need a simple kimono cover up for the road, or laying low at home keeping the summer heat at bay, this blue kimono robe has cool written all over it. The 100% silk material is soft and subtle on your skin, making you feel like you’re floating on a cloud.
