This listing is for a pair of vintage himo ties made from faux leather (well, could be real leather, we can't tell) in a dark purple color with gold accents at each end. There's a bit of batik crackle effect - not sure how this was done!

Haori himo are (usually) braided or woven cords that tie together at the front of a traditional haori jacket. They are hooked into the little loops on either side of the front collar that every haori has. We've tied them in a simple squared knot and included contemporary clips that make them easy to attach and detach.

Typically six to seven inches long and about half an inch wide, but the variety of designs is quite amazing. Haori himo have many uses even if you don't have a haori jacket: bookmarks, zipper pulls, key chains, and more! (See video below for more examples!)
