This listing is for a vintage Japanese haori jacket. Read below to learn more about this garment.

Glowing like a quiet holiday ember against fresh snow, this vintage women's haori features exquisite shibori (Japanese tie-dye) work in warm red, orange, and soft greenish-blues. The pattern is quite stylized with long reaching stems, leaves, and blossoms that could be mums or something else?

The cream background has a swirling jacquard weave pattern that adds gentle movement and depth. A beautiful addition to any collection, offering both craftsmanship and a sense of celebration.

As with many light-colored vintage textiles, there is some light blemishing on the cream. Some are easy to point out, while some spots are light and blend in, see last photos.

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.
