New in the store: Hand-made hand-dyed kimonos

Handmade, Lovely Materials

With every piece of thread dyed individually, then hand-woven to make intricate organic patterns, each of these kimonos and work vests is a unique work of folk-art. For an updated look more NYC than old-world Japan, pair with a skinny belt and a contrasting pattern, as in this look from the Sartorialist.

Pops of color.

Mixed patterns.

Rich, handmade indigo dyes.

Talk about dramatic silhouettes.

Character...

More beautiful detailing than you can shake a stick at.

Pop by the store at 126 East State Street on the Ithaca Commons to check them out! We also have a few listed among the treasures in ourĀ Etsy store, if you, like me, enjoy shopping for beautiful clothing while eating pecan pie on the couch on fall days.
