The ikat-woven fabric is patterned with turquoise-green leafy branches and clusters of rounded white and yellow fruit or berries, their slightly blurred edges giving the design the characteristic softness of pre-dyed ikat threads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe jacket appears to have been altered or possibly repurposed from an earlier garment with a roomier cut through the waist and visible hand repairs that add a distinctly wabi-sabi character, celebrating its age, use, and importance. Inside, a bright repurposed lining with stylized bamboo and bold florals in coral, orange, yellow, lavender, and green makes an unexpected contrast to the subdued exterior.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThis piece shows its history through visible hand repairs, mending, scattered wear, and other signs of age, all contributing to its wonderfully individual wabi-sabi character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHaori 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.
