Vintage Haori of a bright red silk, hand-sewn and completely finished with the traditional Japanese Shibori technique. Soft and fluid silk that moves with you, offering weightless comfort and elegance in every step. The silk fabric has a subtle woven pattern and the Shibori technique is applied manually to the entire Haori, creating an exquisite design of wavy lines and flowers. A beautiful work of art! The lining is of a beige silk with a woven pattern, it shows some discoloration due to aging. This Haori comes with the silk pink Himo cords with which you can close it at the front.  It dates from around the 70s and is in good vintage condition. Aka is a Japanese girl’s name, and also means ‘red’.

The beautiful refined pattern of this silk Haori is made using the Shibori technique, a Japanese manual tie-dye technique that originated in the 8th century. With thin threads, countless small dots are accurately tied into the fabric, after that the fabric is dyed by hand. When the threads are removed, a refined uneven pattern appears. Making Shibori textiles is very time-consuming and requires a lot of skill and focus. The word Shibori comes from the Japanese verb shiboru which means ‘to wring or pinch’. There are many ways to bind Shibori fabric, resulting in many different patterns. The structure of silk Shibori fabric feels very pleasant and soft.
