{"product_id":"japanese-vintage-hiroeri-kimono-geometric-pattern","title":"Japanese Vintage Hiroeri Kimono | Geometric Textile Pattern","description":"\u003cp\u003eJapanese vintage garments and distinctive textiles are increasingly valued by designers, buyers, stylists, vintage fashion professionals, and people with a highly discerning eye for clothing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis hiroeri kimono is for those who want to bring the structure, textile character, and visual language of Japanese clothing into contemporary fashion. It can be worn as a kimono, or styled open over everyday clothing as a long layering piece. Its generous silhouette works especially well over a T-shirt, shirt, or knitwear.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe main appeal of this garment is its textile design. A dense all-over geometric pattern covers the navy fabric from the sleeves and body to the back. Repeating diamond-shaped forms contain smaller motifs that suggest flowers or botanical shapes, with subtle accents in pale blue, white, and red.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe pattern is not built around one large decorative image. Instead, its visual impact comes from the continuous repetition of small motifs across the entire garment. From a distance, it reads as a quiet navy layer. Up close, the overlapping diamonds, small decorative forms, varied colors, and woven surface create a much richer textile impression.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor a designer or buyer, this garment offers an unusual reference point for pattern, proportion, and the relationship between fabric and silhouette. For a stylist or fashion-minded wearer, it can be used as a distinctive layer over contemporary clothing. It can also be considered for styling, editorial work, costume, photography, or display where the presence of an individual textile matters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe garment has a \u003cstrong\u003ehiroeri\u003c\/strong\u003e, or wide collar. Multiple snap buttons are attached inside the collar, and the snap buttons function. The collar can be fastened or opened to create different ways of wearing and styling the garment while retaining its traditional Japanese construction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMaterial and Feel\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere is no material label, tag, or certificate. This garment is not cotton. It has a slightly prickly feel and may be a wool and synthetic-fiber blend, but the fiber content cannot be confirmed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause of the feel of the fabric, layering it over a long-sleeved garment rather than wearing it directly against the skin may be more comfortable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCondition\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThere is damage in several areas of the garment, including the area shown in image 08.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFold creases are visible on the body, consistent with the garment having been folded upward for storage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe snap buttons function.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWe have washed the garment twice, but an odor characteristic of an old textile remains.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe garment will be packed in a compressed form, and some additional creasing may occur during shipping.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlease understand that further damage or the return of odor after purchase due to washing or wear will not be eligible for a refund or exchange.
