"Arrows Point the Way " Woman's Kimono- $60

ITEM NUMBER: 0808WK2
Bold colors and design in this semi-sheer summer kimono - unlined and open weave to keep you cool. A soft smooth and comfy silk in case you're not wearing anything underneath... Great coral red band accent is a great contrast to the teal blue and strong green. Some single silver strands in the warp as well! The arrows were painted on and the brush stroke seems to imitate an ikat weave - so well done! Long 28" sleeves, too!

"Hint of Orange " Woman's Haori - $40

ITEM NUMBER: 0808WH9
Now this is a summer jacket you can dress up or down. A simple black weave except for a scattering of open weave fans and florals accented with a dash of deep orange - painted on, we think. Just enough to catch the eye. Semi-sheer makes it sexy - beach cover up or night on the town - this one goes anywhere summer takes you.

black, a little dark orange

"Koi Jumping " Woman's Kimono- $100

ITEM NUMBER: 0808WK7
It's so unusual to find a kimono with a koi design, so even though this one has a few blemishes, it's a real find! A single stenciled carp at the front hem jumps out of the beautiful blue waves and towards a scattering of blossoms on the upper kimono. Yes, there are several little spots and a small hole, but, alas, those tell their own story. Semi sheer for summer.

Colors:--

Blue, white , gray

Fabric:--

Silk Lined?  No

Size:--

Length = 60 " Hips= 41" Wrist-to-Wrist=50"

"Pink Lady " Woman's Haori- $35

ITEM NUMBER: 0808WH3
The perfect little jacket to throw over your shoulders on a cool evening. The open weave lets the breeze through but somehow keeps you warm against a chilly one. A sweet pink-lady pink color - somewhat unusual for these unlined semi-sheer summer haori, which are usually dark colored. Comfy to wear, but we're not sure if it's silk or not. Silver threads twisting in the weave will catch the light...

Very traditional summer kimono - typical of what you might have seen in the 1950's at one of the summer festivals in Japan. This one features a checkerboard of blue and white with a pattern of pinks, bush clover, and an open basket weave design as well as pine and other auspicious images. Semi-sheer with long 26" sleeves.

"Deep Plum Sheer " Woman's Haori - $33

ITEM NUMBER: 0808WH6
A light and carefree little number that offer more than what you see at first glance. A pair of himo ties peek through the sheer at the front, and the weave of the fabric offers a subtle tree bark (?) texture that appears when placed against a light background. Sweet and understated, when you don't want to be the center of attention, but you still gotta be you...

Colors:--

Dark plum

Synthetic Lined?  No

"Mocha Mamma " Woman's Kimono- $60

ITEM NUMBER: 0808WK5
If you like coffee and need a robe that won't show the drips, consider this one. We love it with a pink belt. Vertical stripes but unlined and still semi-sheer, but with a sweet, single family crest at the nape of the neck. Subtle, comfy, and perfect for Sunday morning with the funnies and a cuppa joe.

Colors:--

Brown

Silk Lined?  No

"Brick Red with Swirls " Woman's Haori - $50

ITEM NUMBER: 0808WH7
A deep red summer jacket with open weave swirls appearing scattered along the back, front left and back right sleeve. Lots of white basting threads still hold the seams flat - they can be removed before you wear it - suggest that this jacket was never worn. Lightweight fabric - firm rather than silky, but comfy as casual wear.
