This is a Brown Silk Shibori Kimono Scrunchies, Handmade Upcycled Hair Tie, Ship from USA.
Silk Kimono from Japan (some are used, some are deadstock) are taken apart into pieces, then sewn by me.
All of our products are not intended for children under 14 years of age.
Normal size elastic hair tie is inside.
Kimono is the traditional dress of Japan, still worn today on special occasions. The making of a kimono is extremely labor-intensive. Only the finest silk is chosen to be carefully hand-dyed and embroidered.
Then, the fabric is sewn so that no seams are visible. It can take several weeks to sew one kimono, and it's not unusual for the price of a special kimono to exceed ten thousand dollars.
In Japan, kimonos are carefully stored and handed down from generation to generation. When a kimono no longer is worn, we take it apart with loving care, trying to imagine who made it and who wore it. Then we give it a new life.
Do Not Wash.
