Vintage kimono thrift haul in Tokyo

[@vivianramsay2527]

Yes! I can understand how you would go overboard buying those beautiful items! The fabric is very intricate and beautiful without being garish. I would use that amazing obi as a wall hanging so I could look at it all the time !! Enjoying your videos!! Greeting from Mississippi!😊😊😊😊

It's so hard to leave them behind! That's why I do kimono shopping tours so I can get my shopping fix through other people!

'maybe I'll keep them all' , lol. Famous last words. You already know that when you fall in love with them, it's hard to let go. Lots of beautiful pieces.

@@janetjohnson8931 so true! It’s so tough to let them go!

I would love any of that material to make into a kimono for myself. What do you do with them. Can we purchase material from you???? I have purchased scarves here in the states made from old kimonos and love them. Thank you

I currently sell scrap bags for small projects in my online shop. Currently thinking about the possibility of selling larger pieces. I usually let mailing list subscribers hear first about new releases.

Thesecare so gorgeous ❤. Is it possible to launder the shibori ones?

@@maryb6559 depending on the dye used, these often wash out even with gentle handwashing. With those delicate materials, I do sun / air cleaning with occasional steam to iron out creases in delicate materials.

@studio_biku that's what I was afraid of, thanks for responding
