A kimono is the perfect way to relax at home or on holiday. Our cotton and cotton satin kimonos are comfortable, loose-fitting robes that can be worn by men and women all year round as a dressing gown or bath robe, or worn by the pool etc. Each comes with a 4" wide belt to tie loosely around the waist. Two lengths are available in some styles. Most will fit a woman up to UK Size 18+ and a man approximately up to chest 44”. The length is stated with individual Kimono details. They are also suitable and flattering as maternity wear. Apart from the silk kimonos which are dryclean only, all are easy to care for and can be machine washed using detergent for delicate fabrics as well as tumble dried.
Distinguished by their striking images and rich, vibrant colours, our beautiful Japanese kimonos are made in the ancient city of Kyoto, where a small family business uses its own team of artists to create fresh and original designs each year. We also offer luxurious soft printed silk kimonos, whose exclusive designs are renowned for sensual elegance and exquisite workmanship.
The patterns and colours that adorn kimono are very significant. The images used on kimono often have complex levels of meaning, and many have specific auspicious significance which derives from religious or popular beliefs.
