KESHKI "Atmospheric" Reworked Kimono

$950.00
The kimono collection is a project which highlights the cultural craftsmanship behind vintage kimonos. Rather than allowing these textiles to disappear quietly, KESHKI aims to re-contextualize these garments in a contemporary aesthetic through thoughtful reinterpretation in design. BACKGROUND This vintage kimono is likely woven using the 縦横絣 (tate-yoko kasuri) weaving technique, where both the warp and weft threads are perfectly aligned by skilled craftsmen. The result is a characteristic crosshatched pattern that appears when examining the textile closely, as well as an overall brushed or slightly blurred effect. This vintage kimono has been reworked using distressing and riveting. Sourced and reworked in Tokyo. CARE Because each vintage piece is delicate, handmade and thoughtfully reworked, we recommend spot cleaning only. Please avoid machine washing or soaking, as this may damage the fabric and detailing.
