vintage kimono robe

woven Meisen silk komon kimono

Meisen style kimono are made from individually dyed threads that are then woven to make a pattern, creating a soft edge that creates a "blur" or Ikat effect. Made most popular in the 1920s and 30s, Haori, Michiyuki and komon Kimono made in the woven Meisen method were worn mostly as everyday or home wear.

The patterns created resemble modern art paintings and the ease of wear make them perfect for lounging in a fun and beautiful way.

Most Meisen kimono fabrics are silk or cotton with a polished cotton feel, a little more starched or structured in the feel until they become worn in over time, like a great pair of jeans
