A curiously characterful red silk kimono, with cute Japanese baby print motif, contrasting white crinkled jersey collar, and integral tie belt, lined with soft red cotton. This totally unique and unusual, handcrafted kimono probably dates from the 1970s.

Ideal for lounging around during lockdown, kimonos make stylish dressing gowns. Their exquisite fabrics and textile designs mean they are also wearable works of art, perfect for when galleries and museums reopen and arty events recommence, or as decorative artworks for the home.

One size 8-14. 53 inches/135 cm long. One small stain was not removed by dry cleaning, and print is very slightly faded in places. Otherwise, this piece is in good vintage condition.
