This listing is for a pair of vintage himo ties in alternating bands of white and olive green that were woven in a pattern that reminds us of a crocheted afghan from grandma.

Haori himo are the braided or woven cords that tie together at the front of a traditional haori jacket, hooked into the little loops on either side of the haori front collar. We have pre-tied the himo in a decorative knot and will add a contemporary clasp for easy attachment.

Haori himo are typically six to seven inches long and about half an inch wide. There are many uses even if you don't have a haori jacket: bookmarks, zipper pulls, key chains, and more! (See video below for more examples!)

Haori himo - sometimes referred to as kumihimo - are created on a special loom with a macrame or braiding technique - see the video below on how this is done.
