This listing is for a pair of vintage himo ties in a red and white combo that makes a fun design when knotted.  Red on one side, white on the other means you can get three different looks with this pair.  Flat weave, unpatterned.

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.
