This listing is for a vintage Japanese haori jacket. Learn more about this type of garment below.

Deep midnight blue and softly gleaming metallic details give this haori a dreamy, almost moonlit elegance. The woven design brings together layered clouds, flowering branches, and sweeping fabric banners embellished with delicate geometric patterns and tied cords. Silver, muted gold, blue, and touches of russet shimmer against the dark ground. Clouds are an auspicious motif associated with good fortune and change, while the flowing banners add graceful movement to the composition.

A woman's haori is a traditional Japanese jacket worn over a kimono, designed to provide both warmth and an added layer of formality. Today, these jackets transition effortlessly into modern fashion as a lightweight, open-front layer. They can be worn over dresses, denim, or simple basics to add texture, color, and a distinctive, artful touch.

Haori do not cross over or tie with a sash, like a kimono does - they are meant to be worn open to reveal a bit of what is worn beneath. An optional accessory is the haori himo - little woven ties that are hooked to the little fabric loops that you'll find at the mid-front of the haori - but they are sold separately. We'll select one that goes with this haori if you pick the Add A Himo Pair option above. To choose a pair of our fancier himo, CLICK HERE.
