Showa Era · Silk · Never worn

THE MEANING

Ivory and white carry deep significance in Japanese culture — associated with purity, new beginnings and the clarity of an open road. A haori in this palette is not a quiet piece — it is a considered one. 

OVERVIEW

An ivory silk haori that earns its price through detail. The contrast stitching runs across the fabric in an intricate, textural pattern — the kind of work that takes time, that you notice slowly, that reveals itself the longer you look. It gives the silk a subtle depth that plain fabric simply cannot have.

This haori has never been worn. The original stitching remains on the lapel — the small thread that tells you it has been waiting, folded perfectly, for the right person.

FABRIC AND CRAFTMANSHIP

– 100% vintage silk – Intricate contrast stitching — detailed, textural, unique to this piece – Ivory ground with tonal stitching detail throughout – Original lapel stitching intact — never worn – Lightweight with a subtle structure from the stitching detail

FIT

One size. Fits Australian sizes 6–16 depending on desired fit. Designed to be worn open and relaxed. The stitching gives this haori slightly more structure than a plain silk — it holds its shape beautifully when draped.

HOW TO WEAR IT

– Over all black — the ivory and stitching detail become the whole outfit – Over a cream or white slip dress — tonal dressing at its most considered – Draped across your shoulders at a summer wedding or garden party – A bridal morning jacket — worn while getting ready, kept for a lifetime
