One of a kind, crafted from lightweight chiffon, this kimono blends rich botanical florals with intricate heritage-inspired motifs in a palette of emerald, teal, olive, plum, and antique gold. The semi-sheer chiffon sleeves and lower panels are adorned with painterly floral blooms in shades of violet, lavender, and jade, while the bodice showcases an ornate tapestry of paisley and geometric patterns reminiscent of antique textile artistry.
The contrast between the structured heritage motifs and the fluid floral chiffon creates a beautifully layered design that feels both timeless and contemporary. Finished with coordinating trim details and a matching self-tie belt, the silhouette is elegant and versatile, offering graceful movement while maintaining a refined shape.

Crafted from reclaimed heritage textiles, each piece carries its own history, character, and unique markings. Variations in weave, embroidery, texture, colour, and minor imperfections are part of the beauty of the regenerative process and should not be considered faults.
