Antique Bloom

A vintage awase kimono repurposed into a short haori, crafted from a structured silk or silk-blend outer layer with a subtle, double-layered construction that lends graceful drape and refined form. The soft, muted floral motifs are paired with damask-inspired patterns, creating quiet texture and timeless sophistication across the fabric.
Thoughtfully shortened to 60 cm, the silhouette becomes contemporary and versatile, ideal as an elegant layering piece over both traditional and modern attire.
Likely from the mid- to late Shōwa era (circa 1950s–1970s), this piece reflects a period when lined silk kimonos combined durability with understated artistry for formal and seasonal wear.
A kimono of classic refinement and adaptable elegance — the Antique Bloom Short Haori embodies texture, subtle pattern, and wearable sophistication in every fold.
