The letter box evokes the elegant image of a refined box used by Heian aristocrats when exchanging waka poems. The design features beautiful depictions of seasonal flowers with an added touch of braided cords.

Our process
We have shortened the length and replaced some of the lining to make these vintage kimonos more wearable.
In Japan, it has long been customary to take apart and adjust the size of kimonos to wear the same fabric indefinitely. (The traditional method involves adjusting the seam allowances without cutting the fabric to resize the kimono.)
While vintage kimonos often have stains due to their age (noted above if any), please enjoy the texture of authentic silk, which is not made of polyester.
