Showa Era · Silk · Two ways to wear · Good vintage condition

THE MEANING

Purple has been associated with nobility and wisdom in Japanese culture for centuries — a colour historically reserved for those of rank. Worn by someone stepping into their own.

OVERVIEW

A striking haori in deep purple with a vivid orange and yellow lining — two completely different garments depending on which way you wear it. Worn outside-in, the lining becomes the statement.
