HELLO!!

Thank you for your interest and wish to have your own bespoke kimono piece selected from our ever changing vintage kimono collection. I’ve personally created these reconstructed kimono designs to utilise as much of the kimono fabric as possible, minimising waste and giving these gloriously, beautiful kimonos a new lease on life.

If you’re in/visiting Tokyo, you can schedule an appointment to visit our home studio for a fitting and to peruse the kimonos we have available for reconstruction. Please be aware a first appointment can take anywhere from 1 - 3hrs, depending how decisive you are in selecting your kimono from our vast collection, plus taking measurements and deciding on design.

If you’re wishing to place an overseas order, please understand the timeline will be a little longer due to email replies, the possibilities of sending mock ups.

If you’re not sure what you’re after, or you just want to send us some love, please do send us a message! Would love to hear from you!

Please fill out the form below - please give as much information as possible, especially if you’re writing from overseas.

FAQ

1. All our kimonos are photographed to the best of our ability, if you wish to have extra photos to help your choices, please don’t hesitate to ask.

2. Our kimonos are pre-loved, hence due to their history any frays or oddities are all of part of their history & character.

3. We will only make one of each particular design using a particular kimono, however the same design can be made in a different kimono & vice versa: the same kimono in a different design.

4. We are advocating the move of ‘slow fashion’ rather than fast, therefore we utilize all of the available kimono fabric to create different designs so that there is no waste.
