Our vision is to give vintage kimono a new life as elegant outerwear—pieces that can be worn, appreciated, and integrated into contemporary wardrobes around the world. This fabric is called "shibori" 絞り Kimonos are dyed and embroidered using a variety of techniques, one of which is the “tie-dyeing” technique. This is a technique in which fabrics are dyed by binding them with threads or sandwiched with a device to prevent dyeing, and then dyed with dyestuffs to create complex patterns. With gold thread embroidery: Kinkomashishu 金駒刺繍 is a technique in which thick gold thread, which would not pass through a needle hole, is wound around a wooden piece, rolled along the pattern, and sewn onto the cloth with fine thread. Kinkomashishu is one of the traditional Japanese embroidery techniques used with yuzen dyeing and other techniques, and is especially known for being applied to furisode (long-sleeved kimono) and high-class kimonos.
