Gifts for her

Struggling for gift ideas for the lady in your life? This silk scarf is the perfect gift for someone special. It's made from two vintage Japanese kimono fabrics in a bold colour palette of red and blue.

Th main body of the scarf is made from a red kimono fabric that has a pretty floral design. There are touches of blue, green, yellow and white to add drama.

I've added a contrasting border made up of a geometric blue and white kimono fabric. The blue matches the blue of the flowers and adds drama to each end of the scarf.

This is a decorative scarf and great for enhancing any outfit. Wear it casually with jeans and a jacket, or dress it up with a little black dress for an evening event.

This scarf makes a great gift for a Japan lover and it is totally unique. You will not find it anywhere else! All items are gift wrapped in pink tissue paper and can be sent straight to their recipient with an optional gift message included.

Japanese kimono gifts

 Having lived in Tokyo for four years, I have a massive appreciation for all things Japanese and during that time I also amassed a rather extensive collection of vintage kimonos. I love recreating these kimonos into new items and the latest pieces to hit my store are these lovely accessories in shades of red and pink.

This scarf is made from two different vintage kimono fabrics that have been pieced together.

I love this bold red maple leaf motif on a soft pink ground. In Japan the maple leaf is often used in art and design and is seen as a symbol of elegance, beauty and grace.

In Japan the colour red denotes strength and passion and is a colour that is often worn at important ceremonies such as weddings and birthdays.

The vibrant red of this vintage kimono works perfectly for this summer headband. It has a bow detail which can be detached depending on your mood.

Silk scarf

I've just added another scarf to my store. This one is made from vintage Japanese kimono pieces sewn together and comes in vibrant shades of red and cream. It has some stunning patterns in the mix and is long enough to wear around the neck a few times. You can find it in my store here.

Scarlet stunner

I've just added this double sided scarlet stunner to my store. It's a decorative scarf made from vintage Japanese kimono fabrics in a colour palette of reds and creams. On one side I have pieced together a variety of patterns and designs. On the other side I have used a red and cream kimono fabric that incorporates maple leaves, houses and a stream. It is mentioned in another post here.

The scarf is very decorative and bright and looks great draped around the neck.

It's 204 cm long which means it's long enough to go around the neck twice. Because it's double-sided, it looks great however you decide to drape it.

I love the vibrant red colour and have used a few fabrics that add some extra colour, such as yellow and green. You can see this in the chrysanthemum design and in the backing fabric.

Up close, you can see the delicacy of the design. The flowers below have a very light tint of pink, yellow and blue, but it's only been added in certain sections so as not to overwhelm the design with colour.

I love the stylised design of the chrysanthemums below, and the fact that some of them are coloured and some are just left as an outline.
