This listing is for one yard of vintage fabric salvaged from a vintage Japanese kimono.

This is lining silk from a vintage kimono in "Japanese Red", which has an orange cast to it. It is a thin, soft silk - best for linings but can also be used in any textile project if backed with interfacing.

The standard width of all kimono fabric is between 13" and 14" and each length offered here is at least 36" - some are more generous cuts.

When we find vintage (circa 1950s but could be older or newer by two decades) Japanese kimono or haori (kimono jackets) in less-than-sellable condition due to fading, blemishes, or holes, we salvage what we can and offer it to artisans, quilters, crafters, and designers for project work. So the fabric has been previously sewn and though we carefully deconstruct the kimono, previous seam lines, as well as minor blemishes, may need to be worked around or trimmed away.
