Kimono & Yukata – Japanese Garments from Kyoto (22)
Kimono and yukata from Kyoto are more than clothing – Japanese garments with a long history, equally at home in everyday life as on special occasions: light, flowing and quietly elegant.
Cotton, satin, silk – Japanese garments for women and men
Every model in this collection is made in traditional workshops in Kyoto, adorned with classic motifs such as bamboo, cranes or flowers.
Cotton yukata – The lightest and most practical model, ideal for summer, after a bath or as comfortable loungewear. Cotton sits softly against the skin, can be machine-washed at low temperatures and keeps its colours for years.
Cotton satin kimono and yukata – A fabric with a gentle sheen and pleasant handle, sitting between the everyday comfort of cotton and the look of something more refined. For morning rituals, quiet evenings at home or as a guest dressing gown.
Pure silk kimono – The most traditional fabric for this garment: fluid, cool in summer and gently warming in winter. Kyoto silk kimonos are hand-sewn with great care and benefit from careful maintenance.
Motifs and origin – All models come from workshops in Kyoto, the centre of Japanese textile art. The motifs – cherry blossoms, cranes, waves, bamboo – follow an iconographic tradition unchanged for centuries.
How to wear and care for a kimono or yukata
Putting one on is simple: place the garment over your shoulders, traditionally crossing the left side over the right, and secure it with the obi sash included. Cotton and satin models can be machine-washed on a delicate cycle at low temperature, ideally in a laundry bag, then air-dried in the shade. Silk kimonos are best entrusted to professional dry cleaning or washed carefully by hand in cold water.
A kimono or yukata from Kyoto is a Japanese gift that actually gets worn – beautiful to look at, pleasant to wear and rooted in a genuine Japanese textile tradition.
