Vintage Japanese Shibori Haori Jacket – Vibrant Cherry Red Kanoko

A beautiful vintage Japanese Shibori haori jacket in vibrant cherry red, featuring an intricate all-over Kanoko-style pattern of countless delicate ivory dots.

The beautifully textured fabric showcases flowing geometric arrangements, creating a captivating interplay of colour, texture and movement.

Shibori is a traditional Japanese resist-dyeing technique, in which fabric is carefully tied, stitched, folded or bound before dyeing to create intricate patterns and distinctive textures.

Practised in Japan for centuries, Shibori is celebrated for its exceptional craftsmanship, artistic expression and remarkable attention to detail. Its intricate patterns reflect the beauty of traditional Japanese textile artistry.

The delicate Kanoko-style markings extend gracefully across the back and wide sleeves, creating a beautifully balanced composition that is both vibrant and timeless.

The interior reveals an elegant ivory lining adorned with traditional Kikkō-inspired hexagonal patterns, chrysanthemums and delicate floral motifs.

In Japanese culture, Kikkō patterns symbolise longevity and good fortune, while chrysanthemums are traditionally associated with beauty, longevity and nobility.

A charming blush pink braided decorative cord with delicate tasselled ends elegantly connects the open front, adding a soft and feminine finishing touch.

With its relaxed silhouette and graceful wide sleeves, this one-of-a-kind vintage haori effortlessly combines traditional Japanese craftsmanship with contemporary elegance.

Perfect for layering over dresses or pairing with modern pieces, it brings vibrant colour, artistic texture and timeless charm to any wardrobe.
