Vintage piece ! Second-hand haori, jackets for Japanese kimono.
 
Red red red! A dynamic color that echoes the brilliance of Japanese autumn when Momiji 紅葉, the reddened maple leaves, here hidden in the silk of this haori, shine in nature. According to the shibori 絞り technique, clouds Kumo 雲  are drawn in dotted lines in this flamboyant autumn sky on which stand out white maple leaves Kaede 楓  that brings a touch of contrast with the red. The haura, the inner lining, is crossed by the waves of a river kawa 川, an image very often associated with maple leaves. When this magnificent season draws to its end, they come to cover the surface of the waterways to shape a scene imbued with melancholic beauty. Inside some waves, we can recognize another traditional pattern Seigaiha 青海は, the waves of the blue sea. This jacket is in excellent condition and you can wear it without any problem!

The haori, a jacket worn over a Japanese kimono, is perhaps THE Japanese garment that TABITABIYA fell in love with the most! Cut in the same way as a kimono, the haori also shares its sumptuous fabrics and patterns. But you don't need an obi to keep it closed. It is generally worn open or tied at the front with braided cords made in the same materials as the obijime that is attached to the obi. They are also very decorative. Its easy-to-wear length, its lightness, its more restrained or downright daring patterns make this authentic kimono jacket a super playful and stylish garment that you never get tired of! There is no limit to how you can wear it because the haori goes absolutely perfectly and creatively with all clothes. For your moments of relaxation on the sofa, your reading times, to enjoy a cup of tea, to make you comfortable at home after your days of work, to bring an edgy touch to your jeans outfits, or a more chic note to your skirt or work outfits, for going out in the evening, for invitations to a wedding or a slightly chic aperitif party… The haori is the fashionable answer for all women as the ways you can wear it are endless!!! The haori is THE ideal piece to add to your wardrobe and your life, this so unique touch of Japanese elegance! A simple and accessible way for all to enjoy the art of Japanese kimono.

In Tabitabiya's flea market, I only feature second-hand Japanese haori that melt my heart. They are not perfect but in good, or even very good condition. The photos will show you the small defects that some may have.
