BLACK TEBAKO AND KAMON

£135.00

This vintage haori is nothing short of breathtaking. Set against a deep black background, the intricate gold embroidery brings to life tebako (ornate treasure boxes) and delicate autumn maple leaves, giving it a look that’s both timeless and undeniably luxurious. The way the embroidery catches the light adds a touch of quiet opulence, making this piece truly special.

The tebako motif is particularly fascinating—it represents the beautifully crafted wooden boxes that Heian-era aristocrats used to store their most cherished possessions, like cosmetics, letters, and keepsakes. These weren’t just storage boxes; they were status symbols, often adorned with exquisite lacquerwork and gold detailing—just like the embroidery on this haori.

What makes this haori even more extraordinary is the kamon (family crest) on the back. Haori with crests are quite rare, as they were custom-made for a particular family, often for formal occasions. This means that this piece wasn’t just everyday clothing—it was specially commissioned, crafted with care and pride for the family that once owned it.

It also comes with a haori-himo (decorative fastening cord), adding the perfect finishing touch.

Black haori are always in high demand, and this one is no exception—whenever we get one in stock, it sells out almost instantly. With its elegant gold embroidery and effortlessly chic silhouette, this piece won’t be around for long. If you’re after something truly unique, now’s your chance to snap it up before it’s gone.
