Shibori Kimono Jackets for Autumn

Autum is here! 🍁

It's a perfect time to wear a light jacket. And shibori silk kimono jacket might be the right choice. The silk is thick enough to keep you warm, but not too thick that you'd feel hot in this season. Shibori makes some of the most gorgeous textile patterns that these kimono jackets don't look ordinary. For those who are into Japanese outfit and boho style, these jackets are for them. 

These are the shibori silk kimono jackets (or called haori) available in my Jagatara Art Vintage & Supplies shop.

Yellow shibori silk kimono jacket. This is a quite rare shibori kimono jacket. Yellow shibori silk jacket is a rare item. Couldn't be more perfect for the season. I love the ombre colors on this jacket.

Kimono jacket or haori is basically unisex jacket. So these jackets can be worn by both men and women depending on the size. Authentic kimono jackets don't fall into strict categories of size such as S. M, or L since they are vintage items, each jacket was custom made following the size of their previous owners. Please find the details of their sizes in my shop.

Have a lovely autumn! 🍁

Kimono Silk Fabric Remnants with Scenic Motif

It's been ages since my last post. I've been so busy. Running two shops is certainly a full time job!

To begin with, I've added a new section in my Vintage & Supplies shop JagataraArtVintSup. It's fabric remnant section. It started when I realized that I had so many fabric scraps that I'd bought and used only some of them to make kanzashi. Mainly kimono silk fabrics. These fabrics were part of kimono and haori.r

Japan's silk is well-known of its high quality. The patterns are beautiful and unique. Many have traditional Japanese textile designs such as seigaiha (wave), sakura (cherry blossoms), ume (plum blossoms), momiji leaf, and many more.

One of my favourite designs is scenic design which depicts nature and even houses. Sometimes the design includes several traditional designs such as sakura, bamboo leaves, pine etc.

These are some of the fabrics in my shop.

This one has unique scenic motif which consists of traditional Japanese patterns such as streams, chrysanthemums, irises, cherry blossoms, and pines. Also there are additional patterns such as hills and bamboo water pipes.

I love the striking colours of this piece. The design depicts Japanese village. There are colourful houses with lots of trees and flowers. You may notice some Japanese traditional designs such as seigaiha (wave), chrysanthemums, irises, momiji leaves and many others. 

Although the scenic design on this fabric is quite simple, it still retains its beauty. The patterns consist of various patterns such as chrysanthemums, irises, plum blossoms, momiji leaves, pines and streams.

The last one is almost as simple as the one above but it has additional patterns such as houses and gates. The traditional patterns include chrysanthemums, momiji leaves, bamboo leaves, and pines. The unique patterns here the ones that look like clouds but in purple.

These fabrics are considered vintage and can be used for doll-making, wallet making, tsumami zaiku (fabric flowers), collage and other crafting and sewing projects.
