What is

Vintage Kimono Lamp?

About the product

All products are made from old kimonos and rolls of fabrics. Some items are in relatively good condition, but depending on the product, there may be fading, unevenness, small stains, color transfer, frayed threads, creases, etc. Due to aging as shown in the photos below. We have announced the big points on the product description page as much as possible, but we have not expressed all the details.
In addition, there are times when you can get several pieces from one kimono, but the parts of the pattern used are also different, so all of them are one-of-a-kind.
Because the finished width varies depending on the fabric, the height of the lamp is adjusted according to the width of the fabric so that you can make the most of the beautiful patterns.
Please understand that it is hand-made from second-hand goods from decades ago, and enjoy the one-of-a-kind kimono lamp/dress in the world, with stains and fading as the history and individuality of each products.
