Ecru NODO Kimono
Like a sheer embroidery laid on the skin, the NODO Kimono reinvents the white blouse with the grace of French jacquard. Its tone-on-tone filigree floral pattern creates a subtle embroidered effect — discreet in natural light, luminous under evening lights.
Cut from a high-density brocade-style jacquard, woven in France by weavers certified Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant, and certified Organic and Oeko-Tex 100, the NODO can be worn crossed, held by its inner ties, with or without an OBI belt depending on your mood. Its long, slightly flared sleeves end with wide, generous cuffs — convertible into 3/4 sleeves.
Finished with French seams without overlock: all seams are enclosed, nothing protrudes. A craftsmanship requirement visible even in the invisible details.
Available in 3 colors — ecru, white, black — in 5 sizes (T1 to T5) and 3 back center heights (50, 55, 60 cm). Pairs with: MIDORI lime green hakama — KONIRO blue hakama — DENIMI sky blue hakama — MATCHA green hakama — BANIRA vanilla hakama.
