For decades I have added to my large collection of Japanese kimonos, buying secondhand from a family owned business in northern Japan. I only buy silk kimonos in as near perfect condition as possible. I have developed a keen eye for colour and pattern, seeking out kimonos which I think will delight others.
Many customers have requested custom made cushions either to match their decor or buy as a gift.
Obi are individually designed and woven - so an item made from the fabric is truly unique.
Irregularities: none but this is a vintage fabric so there may be small marks/stains.
Handcrafted item from vintage fabric in a smoke/pet free home.

KimonoSpirit was born from my love of Japanese kimonos, the design, fabric and patterns. I have a large collection of kimonos, please ask if there’s a particular colour or pattern you’re searching for! I unpick kimonos and upcycle the fabric, giving the kimonos a second chance for these wonderful patterns to be admired.
