The shape and fit of the kimonos have been copied from one I inherited from my father, which was donated to him from my grandmother. The original piece is an authentic Japanese kimono, which she bought many years ago whilst living and working as an artist in Asia.
The kimono can be printed on either linen or tencel. These are two of the most sustainable fibres available on the planet.
- 100% linen or 100% tencel
- Hand printed (screen printed) with non toxic, water based inks. Healthy for your skin and for the environment.
- Digitally printed with non toxic, water-based inks. Healthy for your skin and for the environment
- Measuring 90cmx90cm
- Hand rolled hems
- Durable. If well looked after silk can last for decades
- All season product
*Traditionally silk is produced by boiling the cocoons of silk worms, unwinding the strand so the silk fibres don’t break – however, this means that the silk worm dies in the process. Meanwhile peace silk is a process that allows the silkworm to emerge from the cocoon and complete its natural life cycle. The empty cocoons are then used to produce silk. Which means that, although some peace silk may be created with imperfections, it represents a much more humane way to harvest the fibre.
