Question 1

1. What is your brand concept?

Accepted Answer

Our brand reinterprets traditional Japanese kimono textiles as modern, wearable everyday clothing.
Rather than preserving kimono culture in its original form, we focus on evolution—transforming extraordinary textiles into garments that can be worn naturally in contemporary life.
Each piece is created to be worn, lived in, and personal, not displayed as an artifact.

Question 2

2. What are kimono fabrics?

Accepted Answer

Kimono fabrics are traditional Japanese textiles, woven or dyed using techniques refined over generations.
Many of the fabrics we use were originally produced for kimono making and exist as one-of-a-kind or extremely limited pieces.
Because of this, no two garments are ever exactly the same.

Question 3

3. Are your products ready-to-wear or made-to-order?

Accepted Answer

Most of our garments are made-to-order.
You select:
A kimono fabric
A garment pattern
After your order is confirmed, the piece is produced specifically for you.
This approach allows us to avoid mass production and preserve the individuality of each textile.

Question 4

4. How does the ordering process work?

Accepted Answer

Choose a kimono fabric
Choose a garment pattern
(Optional) Add tailoring & sewing service
Production begins after payment confirmation
You will receive updates during the production process

Question 5

5. What sizes do you offer?

Accepted Answer

Our designs are primarily free-size or relaxed-fit, inspired by traditional kimono construction.
For made-to-order pieces, we may request basic body measurements to ensure proper balance and comfort.
Please note that kimono fabrics have limited width, which naturally influences sizing.

Question 6

6. Can I choose the same pattern with a different fabric?

Accepted Answer

Yes.
Our patterns are designed to work across multiple fabrics.
However, each kimono textile behaves differently, so the final appearance may vary slightly.
This variation is intentional and part of our design philosophy.

Question 7

7. Do you offer more affordable options using non-kimono fabrics?

Accepted Answer

Yes.
On our EC site, we also offer made-to-order garments using alternative fabrics such as cotton or polyester.
These garments follow the same patterns as our kimono pieces, allowing customers to experience the design at a more accessible price point.

Question 8

8. Why are garments made from kimono fabrics more expensive?

Accepted Answer

Kimono fabrics are rare, often handcrafted, and no longer mass-produced.
Additionally:
Each garment is individually made
Fabric placement is carefully considered
Production is done in very small quantities
You are purchasing not only a garment, but also a textile with history and irreplaceable character.

Question 9

9. Can I return or exchange my order?

Accepted Answer

Because most items are made-to-order, returns and exchanges are not accepted unless there is a production defect.
We strongly encourage customers to review fabric details and sizing information carefully before placing an order.

Question 10

10. How long does production take?

Accepted Answer

Production typically takes 8–12 weeks, depending on the design and fabric.
Shipping time is additional and varies by destination.
This timeline reflects our philosophy.
We do not rush craftsmanship.
Each garment is created individually, respecting both the fabric and the person who will wear it.
The 8–12 week period is not simply manufacturing time — it is part of the garment’s story.

Question 11

11. Do you ship internationally?

Please note that customs duties and import taxes may apply depending on your country.
These fees are the responsibility of the customer.

Question 12

Dry cleaning is recommended for kimono fabrics
Avoid machine washing unless specified
Store away from direct sunlight
Detailed care instructions will be included with your order.

Question 13

13. Will the garment look exactly like the photos?

Accepted Answer

This individuality is a core value of our brand.

Question 14
