Reworked Vintage Japanese Family Crest Kimono Jacket
£210.00
GROOVY REWORKED — ONE OF ONE
Japanese heritage. Reworked for a new life.
A one-of-one piece handmade by Groovy Japanese Boutique using an authentic vintage Japanese silk haori.
This piece features the exact same GROOVY REWORKED black-and-gold design as the haori worn on stage by Skin of Skunk Anansie.
The design, silhouette and signature three metallic gold sleeve stripes are the same. The only difference is the original vintage Japanese haori used to create it.
As each piece is individually handmade from a different vintage garment, every one has its own unique fabric, pattern and history. No two are ever exactly alike.
The deep black silk features a beautifully understated design, with a smooth, elegant surface that highlights the timeless simplicity of traditional Japanese clothing.
The rich black fabric creates a striking silhouette, allowing the flowing shape of the haori and its dramatic wide sleeves to take centre stage. Its minimalist elegance provides a perfect canvas for the bold contemporary gold detailing.
A delicate circular Japanese mon (family crest), featuring a stylised botanical motif in soft ivory-gold tones, adorns the upper back. Its intricate design creates a subtle yet refined contrast against the dark silk, celebrating the heritage and traditional identity of the original garment.
Three metallic gold stripes have been added along the sleeves, bringing a bold contemporary edge to the traditional silhouette. These signature stripes are the defining feature of the GROOVY REWORKED design worn by Skin, creating a distinctive fusion of Japanese elegance and rock ‘n’ roll attitude.
Inside, the soft ivory silk lining reveals an exquisite traditional Japanese scenic pattern in delicate champagne, pale peach and warm golden tones.
Graceful flowering branches, traditional architectural details and flowing landscape motifs intertwine across the softly shimmering fabric, creating a romantic composition inspired by the beauty of Japanese nature and classical decorative artistry.
The delicate pastel colours offer a beautiful contrast to the dramatic black exterior, adding an unexpected layer of refinement and elegance.
A traditional braided haori cord in soft ivory and blush pink tones elegantly connects the open front, finished with a charming decorative knot and delicate contrasting ends.
A striking fusion of Japanese tradition, intricate craftsmanship, modern streetwear and rock ‘n’ roll attitude.
