Vintage! Second-hand haori, jackets for Japanese kimono.

 

A dynamic haori, full of life and which is as casual as it is elegant with its beautiful color palette in the tradition of Omeshi textiles , from Niigata prefecture, and which enjoyed incomparable success from their birth, in the Showa era. , in 1959. The green and ocher lamé threads are a tribute to the colors of nature and depict a pattern of Kusabana 草花, leaves and flowers , with a nice twirling movement. But where are the flowers, you will say? Well, they are weaved in the black silk of the haori that serves as a background for the vegetal motif made by the foliage of these flowers... But, a tribute is paid to flowers in the haura, the inner lining, where Jigami 地紙, sheets of pretty paper used for making fans are decorated with the flower motifs of the four seasons Shikinohana 四季節の花. We see Botan the peony 牡丹, Kiku the chrysanthemum flower 菊, Ume the plum blossom 梅, sakura the cherry blossom 桜 and kikyo 桔梗 the bellflower . There are also plant motifs such as the pine tree matsu 松, the vine leaf Budonohappa ぶどうの葉っぱ, the maple leaf Kaede 楓 and the bamboo tree Take 竹, all above gentle 波 waves that add some quiet movement to the scene. This jacket is in excellent condition and you can wear it with no 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 traditions. But you don't need an obi to keep it closed. It is generally worn open or tied at the front with braided strings 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 will 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 hard 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… Suitable for all your outings, the haori is the fashionable answer for all women, and the ways you can wear it are endless!!! The haori is THE ideal fashion item to add to your wardrobe and your life this so very 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.
