Vintage Japanese Tsumugi Ikat Skirt SATSUKI
$141.12
This skirt is crafted from a vintage Japanese handwoven Tsumugi kimono**, also known as Japanese Ikat.
Tsumugi is a silk fabric woven from the floss remaining in the broken silkworm cocoon . By spinning these broken strands together silkworm farmers created a fabric for their own use. Today Tsumugi is highly prized and one of the most expensive kimono fabrics despite its humble origins.
Although Tsumugi fabric is made from silk threads, the fabric looks rustic due to the uneven thread widths. It has the appearance of linen fabric but the fabric is quite firm and crisp. The fabric will get softer as you wear.
Japanese kimonos are traditionally an assembly of long rectangular panels of fabric, and six of these were seamed together to create this skirt. Due to the drape of the skirt, the seams are however not very noticeable when it is worn. Medium weight.
The skirt also comes with a removable waist tie which accentuates your waistline as well as creating a feminine silhouette. Gathered at the waist, with an elastic waistband to fit various body shapes/sizes.
**Tsumugi kimono is a type of Japanese kimono which is worn as casual town wear.

❂ CARE
This item is 100% silk and we strongly recommend you to DRY CLEAN the item. Silk is a very delicate fabric and normal wash may change the texture and sheen of the fabric.
Silk can get wrinkled if it is left folded for a longer period, and therefore the item may have some wrinkles when you receive it. You can however easily remove these with ironing. Make sure to set the iron to a low temperature and press it down on the fabric from the backside with a piece of thin cotton (e.g. handkerchief) in between to prevent direct heat on the silk.
We will also include detailed care instructions with your product.
