'Kiku Originals' up-cycled mauve jacket made from a vintage silk Japanese haori
This is an original hand made Japanese vintage silk short kimono which has been sympathetically adapted to give a slightly more contemporary look. The back has an elasticated channel and the front has been darted to give a more fitted appearance. The front fastens with a rouleau and button which have been made from a piece of the original fabric. To maintain this garment for as long as possible it should be spot cleaned with wipes; aired for freshness and sprayed with fabric freshener. As a last resort it should be dry cleaned but it cannot be washed!
