Vintage Japanese Silk Shibori Kimono

Vintage Japanese Shibori Kimono Jacket – Pink & Green

An elegant vintage Japanese Shibori kimono jacket, featuring a delicate interplay of soft pink, subtle green and ivory tones.

The beautifully textured fabric showcases an intricate all-over pattern of tiny geometric dots, with delicate green accents nestled within a soft pink design. The harmonious colour combination creates a refined and understated elegance, giving this unique piece a timeless yet contemporary appeal.

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 characteristic textures and intricate patterns reflect the beauty of traditional Japanese textile artistry.

The delicate Kanoko-style pattern extends gracefully across the back and wide, flowing sleeves, creating a beautifully balanced design with a subtle sense of movement.

The interior reveals a stunning contrasting lining in soft ivory and blush pink, adorned with delicate Japanese maple leaves, known as Momiji, and graceful flowing patterns.

In Japanese culture, maple leaves are traditionally associated with autumn, seasonal beauty and the passage of time, adding a poetic touch to this exceptional vintage piece.

A charming decorative cord in complementary pink tones, finished with delicate multicoloured tassels, elegantly connects the open front and adds a beautiful finishing detail.

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

A beautiful fusion of traditional Japanese craftsmanship and modern elegance, this one-of-a-kind vintage Shibori jacket embodies understated luxury, delicate artistry and timeless charm.
