Haori Jacket in Vintage Silk Kimono Jacket

This elegant vintage haori jacket is sourced from trusted dealers in Japan and features a soft cream silk base adorned with an intricate Heian Kyo castle pattern.

The Story Behind the Piece
This haori celebrates Japan’s textile heritage, featuring motifs inspired by the ancient capital of Heian Kyo (Kyoto). Upcycled from an authentic silk kimono made in the 1960–1970s, and thoughtfully restored with sashiko stitching on the collar, it embodies both preservation and artistry. The inner lining, repurposed from another kimono, continues the Japanese tradition of renewal and craftsmanship.

How to Style It
Layer it over a simple dress, shirt, or turtleneck for a touch of vintage elegance. The cream silk, sashiko collar, and Heian Kyo pattern pair beautifully with both modern and traditional attire, adding a graceful, timeless accent to any look.
