This listing is for a vintage Japanese haori jacket. Learn more about this type of garment below.

Shimmering like flowers emerging through morning mist, this elegant haori combines soft pink, silver, gray, and gold in a beautifully luminous design. The metallic weave creates an allover field of hazy broken clouds, interrupted by large panels of richly woven peonies in blush pink, silvery white, gold, and charcoal foliage. Peonies are traditionally associated with beauty, prosperity, and good fortune, while the drifting cloud motif gives the composition an airy sense of movement and changing seasons.

A woman's haori is a traditional Japanese jacket worn over a kimono, designed to provide both warmth and an added layer of formality. Today, these jackets transition effortlessly into modern fashion as a lightweight, open-front layer. They can be worn over dresses, denim, or simple basics to add texture, color, and a distinctive, artful touch.

Haori do not cross over or tie with a sash, like a kimono does - they are meant to be worn open to reveal a bit of what is worn beneath. An optional accessory is the haori himo - little woven ties that are hooked to the little fabric loops that you'll find at the mid-front of the haori - but they are sold separately. We'll select one that goes with this haori if you pick the Add A Himo Pair option above. To choose a pair of our fancier himo, CLICK HERE.
