This listing is for a pair of vintage himo ties with reversible patterning.  One side is a deep navy blue that ends in an angle pointing into a creamy white section near the tassel.  The other side is the reverse.  A thin pink border on both edges brings it all together, including the fluffy tassels at the ends. 

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.
