KIMONO

Kimono is the traditional garment of Japan. Even today, it is worn not only as formal wear, but also as everyday fashion. One kimono can be tailored from a cloth about 40 cm wide and 12 m long, and although there are some differences in shape between men and women, it can be tailored to any body shape from fabrics of the same size. It also has the ecological advantage of making it easy to reuse materials.


The HIROCOLEDGE Kimono and Yukata (summer kimono) are created with unique dyeing and weaving techniques, combining a variety of colors and patterns to create a rich expression.  

HIROCOLEDGE kimono have been worn on national TV and are suitable for formal events as well as everyday fashion. 

ZERO WASTE SLEEVE BAG 

The HIROCOLEDGE SLEEVE BAG collection was designed as a suistainable project, using a rational tailoring style: The bags are all cut from one single tenugui cloth, without making a single cut. By simple stitching, a creative, durable and stable daily hand bag is made - without wasting any left over material! 

The bags fit both traditional and modern fashion styles.
