Silk fabrics - Wild Kimono

All our silk fabrics have been unpicked by us from damaged kimono, haori or obi. All are vintage, and come in a wide variety of weaves and dyeing traditions from across Japan. Generally, the piece photographed is the only section in good condition and hence the only one reclaimable from that particular garment.
