Vintage Kimono silk top

Vintage Kimono silk top

This simple and versatile long sleeve top is made from a lovely vintage Chirimen kimono with a flower pattern. 

The type of silk called Chirimen, crape in English is one of the traditional Japanese textiles. It has a bumpy surface which gives the silk fabric a special luster, depth, and unique suppleness. The best thing is that it hardly get wrinkled!

One of a kind.

Dear customers,
Hena Hena's creations are upcycled with vintage silk kimonos which are imported from Japan and they are carefully unpicked by myself. I mainly use kimonos from 1950s and before. Because of their age of fabrics there could be some flaws like small marks, pinholes and colour fade etc. but they have incredibly graceful taste that only vintage kimonos have. I hope you enjoy and love the beauty of vintage kimono silks including their histories to be embraced.
Thank you for supporting my small handmade business.
