Tranforming Vintage Japanese Fabrics into Art & Clothing
Once part of a vintage kimono or obi, every patch of fabric we use has a past life — handwoven, worn, and cherished. We give it a new chapter, stitched into modern streetwear and art for people who love something with a story.
Founder Japanese designer Maiko also designs her artwork which is printed hoodies and t shirts using eco-friendly inks.
We are a small business committed to sustainability. Based in the UK, we hand-make art and unique clothing for men, women & children.

Preserving Japan's Heritage, One Creation at a Time
Around 500 tons of kimono are discarded every year in Japan. As kimono wear becomes less common, a precious craft is being lost.
We rescue vintage kimono and transform them into unique, modern clothing — keeping tradition alive while reducing waste.
Every customer who wears our designs is helping protect a piece of Japanese cultural heritage.
Unique, Handmade Upcycled Clothing & Gifts
Groovy Japanese Boutique creates unique, sustainable fashion that blends traditional Japanese textiles with modern style.
We transform vintage kimonos, obi, and leftover fabric pieces into upcycled clothing and accessories. These include hoodies, t shirts, dresses, bags and wall art.
Every piece is crafted with attention to detail, using as much of the fabric as possible to minimise waste.
Our mission is to rescue beautiful Japanese kimonos from being forgotten in wardrobes and give them a new life as contemporary, wearable art. Each item tells a story – from the history of the textile to the hands that created it.
We hope our pieces bring a little joy, colour, and meaning to your wardrobe, while supporting ethical and sustainable practices from start to finish.
Join us in celebrating Japanese craftsmanship, creativity, and conscious fashion.
Our founder is a Japanese designer who studied fashion in Tokyo, bringing a deep understanding of both contemporary trends and traditional craftsmanship to every piece.
