Vintage - Textured Silk - Five Ways to Wear

THE OBIAGE

Traditionally the obiage was worn beneath the obi sash of a kimono - a strip of silk tucked in at the waist so it peeked above the belt as a deliberate detail. Today it works as a belt, a scarf, a headwrap or a bag charm - the same piece of silk, worn five different ways.

FABRIC & DETAILS

- 100% vintage silk

- Vivid lime green with white geometric textured pattern

- Raised, dimensional surface texture

- Significant stretch in the fabric - one size fits all waists comfortably

- Vintage condition - excellent

HOW TO WEAR IT

- Tied as a wide belt over a haori to cinch the waist

- Worn as a sash over a dress or tailored trousers

- Draped as a neck scarf

- Tied as a headscarf or hair wrap

- Looped through a bag handle

The stretch in the fabric means it fits all waists comfortably with no adjustment needed.

GIFTING

An accessible entry into the collection at $80 - a standalone gift or paired with any haori. The lime green works particularly well with the black shibori haori, the sage green wave haori or the ivory contrast stitching haori.
