This listing is for one yard of reclaimed vintage Japanese fabric salvaged from a kimono or haori.

Japanese wool - a softer, non-itchy wool that could be a blend with cotton - in a funky, fun retro design of little geometric shapes in a stylized hexagon grid. The white shapes look like screwbolts to us, and the black triangles are actually four little triangles huddled together. Printed pattern, great vintage pink-black-white combination.

The standard width of all kimono fabric is between 13" and 14" and each length offered here is at least 36" - some are more generous cuts. Multiple pieces may be available and, if you're ordering two yards, continuous yardage will be sent IF it is available.

When we find vintage (circa 1950s but could be older or newer by two decades) Japanese kimono or haori in less-than-sellable condition, we salvage what we can and offer it to artisans, quilters, crafters, and designers for project work. So the fabric has been previously sewn and though we carefully deconstruct the kimono, previous seam lines, as well as minor blemishes, may need to be worked around or trimmed away.

The inspiring designs, hand work, and the ageless beauty of vintage Japanese textiles make all the extra work so worthwhile.
