Kimonos are the traditional dress of Japan and originated sometime before
300 A.D., when the original clothing was made from hemp and tied securely
with ropes to keep it in place.
Styles have changed over the ensuing centuries based in part on the period
of history, customs of the Imperial Court, the development of dyeing techniques,
and the availability of material. Decorations of the kimono also varied according
to the sex of the wearer, martial status, season of the year, and occasion.
One of the most beautiful kimono styles developed during the Heian Period
from 792 - 1192 A.D. This particular design is still used by the Imperial
household today for ceremonies and special occasions.
Vintage kimono fabric can allow you to express yourself in quality purse
design and reflect your unique individuality in a custom bag.
