This is a listing for a Japanique Tunic Vest, modified from a traditional Japanese vintage haori kimono jacket.

Embrace effortless elegance with this dusty rose vest, tailored from a vintage haori into a modern 20-inch, slightly cropped silhouette that's perfect for layering. Softly textured horizontal jacquard is accented by scattered ivory, charcoal, and silver-toned leaves that drift across the fabric, symbolizing growth, renewal, and the changing seasons. The contemporary length pairs beautifully with dresses, skirts, or high-waisted jeans, making this timeless piece both versatile and distinctive.

This Japanique Tunic Vest brings the styling of a kimono jacket into contemporary fashion! We simply removed the sleeves of a traditional haori (kimono jacket). The deep armholes allow for great ease of movement and the extra fabric at the shoulder creates almost a cap sleeve. It's a simple, versatile vest to throw on over jeans or to add pattern and style to solid colors underneath.

Like the haori it started as, the tunic vest is not meant to cross over but should be worn open to reveal a bit of what is worn underneath. If you're looking to add a traditional touch, we do offer the woven ties - called haori himo - that can be hooked into the little fabric loops that you'll find on at the mid-front of the vest. They are sold separately (add a himo pair ($5) option above) and we'll select one that goes with this tunic vest. (If you'd like to choose your own, we have several fancy ones listed here.)
