We have long championed the use of the hoari or short kimono at Ginny & Jude as a casual accompaniment to jeans and skirts. In particular we are very fond of the Meisen silk textiles that gained popularity in Japan from 1920 to 1950. Its woven patterns are said to be influenced by Western textiles and are more adventurous and innovative in pattern and colour.
Made in Japan.
