Patchwork Kimono No. 34
Patchwork Kimono No. 34
Inspired by the traditional Japanese kimono made from indigo, we’ve recreated our version of the kimono made from sinh, a Lao traditional skirt. The kimono features patchwork of traditional ikat designs sewn together, minimalist dolman sleeve in cocoon silhouette, and a slight ruched back collar. This light-weight handwoven cotton makes for the perfect weight for transitional weather and day wear; wear it as a duster over shorts or jeans for a casual, relaxed look.

Sizing: The Patchwork Kimono is hung on a size 8 dress form. Can fit up to to women’s XL (16-18). Body length 33.5”; Body width 25.5'“
Fabric: 100% cotton. Dyed and handwoven by the Phu Tai in Laos.
Care: We have pre-washed the fabric before sewing to achieve this vintage and weathered look. Because the fabric have been naturally dyed with indigo, there will still be some bleeding from the next few washes- that’s ok because the dye is plant-based. We recommend hand wash only in lukewarm water (with a very small amount of mild detergent if necessary). Please do not hang in direct sunlight as that will cause excessive fading. Cool iron.
