The Design

The kimono features a luminous blush-pink silk base, beautifully complemented by delicate ivory florals, muted grey landscapes and rich red blossoms.

Intricate botanical illustrations cascade across the lower panels and sleeves, creating a romantic interplay of colour, texture and movement.

One of its most captivating details is the beautiful ornamental circular motif, decorated with delicate flowers and warm golden accents.

Soft grey landscape-inspired shapes provide a sophisticated contrast to the romantic pink silk, while intricate geometric patterns add further depth to the design.

The fabric reveals a delicate woven texture, adding another layer of refinement to its already exquisite appearance.

Traditional wide sleeves fall gracefully alongside the body, creating a beautifully fluid, full-length silhouette.

Every detail has been thoughtfully composed, resulting in a piece that is elegant, romantic and unmistakably Japanese.

Why We Love Her

Some pieces are beautiful because of the way they look.

Others are beautiful because of the history they carry.

This extraordinary blush-pink kimono offers both.

Pure silk, delicate Japanese florals and a wonderfully romantic palette combine to create something that feels entirely different from contemporary fashion.

Its beauty lies in its individuality, intricate detailing and graceful movement.

A piece to style with confidence, treasure for years and perhaps one day pass on.

One extraordinary kimono. One future owner.

Once she’s gone, there won’t be another exactly like her.
