Vintage! Second-hand haori, jackets for Japanese kimono.
 
I fell in love with this haori which brings us closer to the world of fudangi 普段着, clothing for every day. Fudangi too offer us beautiful interpretations ofJapanese motifs. Typical of the tradition of Komon 小紋 fabrics is the repetition of the same small pattern, here small red flowers that remind us of the world of field flowers and whose cheerfulness is enhanced by the yellow circles that frame them. A very fresh haori, very spring-like, beautifully casual! Another sign that this haori is really from before, are its very short sleeves which remind us of the garment at the origin of the kimono, the kosode 小袖, "small sleeve".  This jacket is unlined and is in excellent condition. 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.
