Vintage Japanese Silk Shibori Kimono

Vintage Japanese Shibori Kimono Jacket – Burgundy & Ivory

An exquisite vintage Japanese Shibori kimono jacket, showcasing the beauty of traditional Japanese textile artistry.

Featuring intricate floral and abstract motifs in rich burgundy and soft ivory, this unique piece is distinguished by its beautifully textured surface, delicate patterns and timeless elegance.

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 remarkable craftsmanship and artistic expression. The process creates beautiful variations in colour and pattern, often accompanied by a softly raised, puckered texture that gives the fabric its unique character.

The intricate Shibori patterns flow gracefully across the back and wide sleeves, creating a rich visual texture and a beautiful sense of movement.

The interior reveals a contrasting lining in soft blush pink, champagne and ivory, decorated with delicate geometric and botanical motifs. This unexpected detail adds another layer of beauty and refinement.

With its relaxed, open-front silhouette and elegant, flowing sleeves, this kimono jacket is perfect for layering over a simple dress, pairing with tailored trousers, or styling with contemporary pieces for an effortlessly sophisticated look.

A beautiful expression of traditional Japanese craftsmanship, this one-of-a-kind vintage Shibori jacket brings together artistry, heritage and modern elegance.
