Upcycled Denim Jacket – Vintage Obi Silk, Diamond Pattern with Chrysanthemum & Paulownia

From a traditional kimono belt to contemporary denim.
One of a kind.

This vintage denim jacket has been reworked with an authentic Japanese obi silk panel, carefully placed across the back to create a true statement piece.

Originally woven for formal kimono, the obi fabric is rich in colour and detailed with traditional floral motifs — symbols of longevity, prosperity and elegance.
Reworked into structured denim, it brings together heritage textile and everyday wear.

Each piece is unique. No two are the same.

Best worn simply — over black, white or neutral layers — letting the silk panel stand out.

The obi fabric is vintage and may show slight signs of its previous life. This is part of its character.

Each jacket is made from a 4.5m vintage obi, so pattern placement will vary slightly and may differ from the photos.
