Vintage Indigo Tsumugi Kimono Skirt
This skirt is made from a combination of Tsumugi Kimonos. Tsumugi 紬 yarns are made from irregular-shaped cocoons called Kuzumayu, which were once considered not fit for spinning even, fine silk threads. Compared to the shine of ordinary silk fabric, Tsumugi has a matte surface. Containing naturally formed slubs, Tsumugi yarns are durable, yet lightweight.
Aizomé 藍染 or Japanese Indigo is derived from the Persicaria Tinctoria plant, and has long been revered for its beautiful hues and antibacterial properties. From plant to dye, it takes about a year to produce, which includes a fermentation process. Different shades of blue are produced by adjusting the fermentation time. Aizomé, which has been perfected since before the 16th century has now become synonymous with Japanese textile design.
The skirt features elastic waist band and two side pockets.
This skirt can accommodate a range of sizes by adjusting the length of the waist elastic, which can be accessed easily through a discreet opening on the inside of the waistband. Comes with elastic to fit approx 76cm/ 30” waist. If you would like to have the elastic adjusted, simply email your waist measurement after purchase.
