One-of-a-kind at a reasonable price. Charm of “Vintage Kimono

2024/5/8

Effortless Kimono” developed by JureiKimono is a vintage product made from old kimonos and fabrics tailored through our own channels.

In contrast to the era when mass production, mass consumption, and keeping up with the latest fashions were all the rage, values such as “using good things for a long time,” “conserving resources,” and “owning things that others don’t have” are becoming more prevalent.

The values of previous eras are not bad, of course, but vintage kimonos are exactly the right product for today’s values.

 

[Charm of Vintage Products

Vintage” in the fashion industry refers to items that are some years old (manufactured before the 1990s* there are various theories), well preserved, and of a certain value.

There are many avid collectors of vintage denim and leather items, and it is not unusual for a single piece to fetch over one million yen.

In addition, each vintage item, such as character items, rock band T-shirts, and military items, has a strong fan base and has established popularity as a fashion genre.

Vintage items are by their nature difficult to find multiple copies of the same item. The fact that they are “one-of-a-kind” is one of the main characteristics of vintage products and one of the reasons why they are loved by customers.

You can also enjoy retro-style fashion by combining it with modern items.

Vintage products full of individuality, with designs, patterns and coloring that are different from the current trends, will make you stand out from the crowd.

 

[Quality of vintage kimonos]

Some may be concerned that vintage products may look shabby, stained or dirty.

While wrinkles, fading, and sometimes even stains and tears can be appreciated as “taste” in denim and leather goods, it is not recommended to enjoy stains and tears in kimonos as fashionable.

The vintage kimonos used for Effortless Kimono are selected by professionals who have been running a kimono boutique in Kobe for over 20 years, and we use only high quality kimonos that are free from stains, fading, and insect bites, and can withstand washing and daily use. You can wear it with peace of mind.
