Silk Obi
Can anyone possibly buy handmade silk kimonos (not that eBay “thing)?
I’m searching for those kimonos I’ve read about in a book about geishas and maikos… The handmaid silk kimonos and obis,and the accessories they wear. Is it anyway one can find at least some with that high quality on the internet?
I went on my search engine using “Silk Kimono” as the key words & there were a number of sites that sell silk kimonos that were not the resell sites.
However it really depends on what type of Kimono you are looking for & what event you would like to wear it to. It also depends on if you want a “modern” or “vintage” Kimono, as well as a traditional or cermonial kimono.
Then there is the storage issue of a silk kimono that you will need to also think about as one does not simply hang a Kimono in ones closet along with your every day clothing.
If it is a vintage silk kimono(lining included), then the up keep of it is very important. One needs to fold it down in a certain way so as not damage the sleeves nor the lining and have it stored in tissue with a scented bag to keep critters out of it and it is kept in a hope chest or deep drawer.
Then of course it depends on the amount of money that you would like to pay for a silk kimono, which of course will depend on it being a traditional-vintage or a modern design. They can range any where from $85.00 to $500.00 again depending on the design, the type of kimono & the fabric used.
The kimonos that I sell in my store are all traditional vintage silk ones that have either the quarter sleeve or the full lenght pocket sleeves and they range from $150.00-$375.00. These are of course dating back to the early 1890′s to the late 1950′s, which factor into the price tag….so you see there are many options out there for you once you decide on the type of kimono you are looking for….good luck
