Why We Love It

The exquisite lilies on this Kyoto-designed women’s yukata hark back to the golden age of kimono fashion. Lilies have been a popular kimono motif since the end of the Taisho period a century ago. This fresh design features graceful white and coral lilies against a sultry red canvas. A classic yet youthful look!

If you thought Japanese yukata kimono were difficult to wear, you don’t need to worry any more! This red floral yukata is perfect for beginners and doesn’t require extensive knowledge to enjoy. Premium breathable cotton is lightweight and very comfortable. You can also easily wash and iron your yukata at home, unlike more formal silk kimono. Accessorize with an obi belt, or change it up with a simple sash or a waist belt.

What’s My Size?

When buying a kimono or yukata, you don’t need to worry about finding your exact size. Women’s kimono usually come in just one size, which will probably be longer and wider than you need. They are adjusted to the right size by folding them at the waist. You can see how to do this in our How to Wear Kimono video tutorial (link in product description).

Sleeves tend to be worn shorter than you may be used to – between the wrist and elbow.

How to Check if a Kimono or Yukata will Fit?

To check if a kimono or yukata will fit you, you just need to measure your height and around your hips (or waist if that is wider). Check the length and width of the kimono or yukata in the ‘Details’ section above.

1. Check the Height

To wear a kimono in the traditional way, you would normally choose a garment that seems too long for you. This means any kimono that is either longer than your height, the same as your height, or up to 10” (25cm) shorter than your height. The excess material is then folded over at the waist.

If the kimono is around 12” (30cm) shorter than your height you can wear it without any fold. This is becoming a popular modern take on wearing kimono for young women and is also the way that men traditionally wear kimono.

If the length of the kimono is over 12” (30cm) less than your height it will be too short to wear as a kimono, although you can still wear it as a robe! To see where the bottom of the garment would fall, measure the length of the kimono down from your shoulders.

2. Check the Width

A kimono with a width that is at least 16” (40cm) greater than your hip size will fit perfectly.

A kimono with a width between 10-16” (25-40cm) greater than your hip size will fit. However, if you want to wear it in the traditional way, you may have to tie it quite tight around the waist to prevent your legs being visible as you walk.

If the width of the kimono is not at least 10” (25cm) greater than your hip size, your legs may be visible as you walk. There’s nothing wrong with that of course, but it’s not the traditional way!

Sleeves

To see where the sleeves will fall on you, check the sleeve length in the product details. This length is measured from the spine at the base of the neck.

Adjusting the Length

Pull up your kimono until the bottom reaches the correct length, then tie it in place round your waist with a ribbon or a koshi himo (kimono tie). Fold the excess material down over the tie. For more details see our How to Wear Kimono video tutorial (link in product description).

Adjusting the Width

Wrap the front of the kimono around your body so that it is tight and comfortable. Tie in place with a ribbon or a koshi himo (kimono tie). Fold the excess material down over the tie. For more details see our How to Wear Kimono video tutorial (link in product description).

Takaokaya has created masterfully handcrafted zabuton and seating cushions in Kyoto since 1919. It is highly regarded for producing some of the finest zabuton cushions in the world.

Having recently celebrated its centennial anniversary, Takaokaya’s legacy lies in its unparalleled craftsmanship, made by master crafts people using tradtional techniques passed down from generation to generation.

Takaokaya combines Kyoto’s centuries-old textile expertise and the Japanese art of kutsurogi (a state of complete relaxation) to bring balance and comfort to contemporary lifestyles and harmonize any living and work space.

Takaokaya prides itself on handcrafting the zabuton cushions one at a time. No two pieces are ever alike due the multi-step process of textile dyeing that creates subtle differences along the fabric grain.

This prized craftsmanhsip remains unchanged over a century ago and backed with a genuine philosophy of "simply bringing a smile on everyone's face,” the state achieved when resting with a zabuton cushion from Takaokaya.

To check if a kimono or yukata will fit you, you just need to measure your height and around your hips (or waist if that is wider). Check the length and width of the kimono or yukata in the ‘Details’ section above.

To wear a kimono in the traditional way, you would normally choose a garment that seems too long for you. This means any kimono that is either longer than your height, the same as your height, or up to 10” (25cm) shorter than your height. The excess material is then folded over at the waist.

If the length of the kimono is over 12” (30cm) less than your height it will be too short to wear as a kimono, although you can still wear it as a robe! To see where the bottom of the garment would fall, measure the length of the kimono down from your shoulders.

2. Check the Width

A kimono with a width that is at least 16” (40cm) greater than your hip size will fit perfectly.

A kimono with a width between 10-16” (25-40cm) greater than your hip size will fit. However, if you want to wear it in the traditional way, you may have to tie it quite tight around the waist to prevent your legs being visible as you walk.

If the width of the kimono is not at least 10” (25cm) greater than your hip size, your legs may be visible as you walk. There’s nothing wrong with that of course, but it’s not the traditional way!

Sleeves

To see where the sleeves will fall on you, check the sleeve length in the product details. This length is measured from the spine at the base of the neck.

Adjusting the Length

Pull up your kimono until the bottom reaches the correct length, then tie it in place round your waist with a ribbon or a koshi himo (kimono tie). Fold the excess material down over the tie. For more details see our How to Wear Kimono video tutorial (link in product description).

Vintage Black Haori Kimono Jacket

Why We Love It

The abstract patterns of this elegant vintage haori kimono jacket represents nazuna grass, a herb that grows during the spring. This would therefore make a great choice of jacket for a blustery spring day!

The jacket is hand-dyed using the painstaking shibori technique. This involves tying up parts of the fabric before it is immersed into to create intricate patterns between the dyed sections and raw fabric. Each of the hundreds of tiny dots you see has been hand-tied to create this fascinating pattern.

This haori jacket has never been worn before, so you should remove the loose white thread from the collar.

Haori jackets are designed to be worn over kimono. This means they can be worn loosely over any clothing, from a thin T-shirt, to a warm winter sweater.
