• Lot Description
  A one of a kind jacket pieced with silk fabric from a vintage Japanese kimono. I disassembled it, cut and rearranged the pieces into a new design. White 'ume,' or cherry blossoms, cover the pale lavender silk. When worn open, the collar and facings show a white silk with a subtle woven design. 6 glass buttons line the front. The jacket is fully lined with silk charmeuse.

  A classic straight sided shape, I call this style 'Chanel'. The garment measures 42 inches bust, 44 1/2 inches hips, length at center back 23 inches. [Approximate industry size 10-12.]

  All pieces are hand made one at a time in my Portland, Oregon studio. Fabrics are vintage Japanese silks. These very special fabrics were woven, stenciled, tie-dyed and painted by Japanese artisans. Many were still in the bolt on their way to become kimonos. Others had been sewn into kimonos but were no longer wearable. I remove the hand stitching, wash and prepare the fabrics for their new life. Each piece I make is unique, most are one of a kind. I ship USPS priority at the beginning of the week.
