Sunlit Tangerine Kōshi Michiyuki

Sunlit Tangerine Kōshi Michiyuki

R1 200,00Price

A full-length kimono-style jacket in crisp, lightweight cotton and silk lining, woven in a radiant tangerine-orange kōshi (lattice) plaid with delicate white and red cross-threads. The oversized, open-front silhouette features wide sleeves and subtle side slits, creating a relaxed drape that moves gracefully while echoing the clean lines of traditional michiyuki jackets.

The precise plaid weave reflects the enduring Japanese appreciation for geometric patterns, where structure and simplicity meet texture and subtle colour contrast. Lightweight yet structured, this jacket balances traditional form with modern ease, perfect for layering or wearing as a statement piece.

Likely from the late Shōwa era (circa 1960s–1980s), it embodies a period of playful reinvention, where classic kimono shapes were adapted into versatile, everyday wear.

A luminous, wearable garment — vibrant, airy, and quietly rooted in Japanese textile tradition.

  • Condition

    Excellent vintage condition — minimal or no signs of age. The garment is beautifully preserved, showing the quality and detail of its original craftsmanship.

  • Sizing

    Kimonos are traditionally designed to be loose and unstructured, which makes them naturally one size fits most. They suit a wide range of body shapes and styles, regardless of gender. The main difference between each piece is the length, so be sure to check the listed length to find the fit and look you prefer.

  • Care Instructions

    Cleaning: Avoid washing your kimono. If you must, dry clean only by a specialist familiar with Japanese textiles. Avoid machine or hand washing.

    Stains: Gently blot stains with a soft cloth; avoid rubbing. Seek professional help for stubborn stains.

    Storage: Store flat in a cool, dry place, away from sunlight and moisture. Use a breathable garment bag.

    Hanging: Use a wide, padded hanger if hanging to avoid stretching.

    Airing: Air occasionally in a shaded area to prevent odors.
