The latest edition of our popular 100% organic silk kimono, with a removable tie belt. Features artwork painted by expressionist artist James Watkins. Blocks of teal and avocado green offset against circular shapes of earthen brown and grey, accompanied by strokes of deep red.
The kimono is a reflection of architecture and plant life of the 'Amsterdam Ring' in Condesa, Mexico City, near James' studio. Originally a large-scale painted work on canvas, he photographed a minute section of the canvas to be used as the kimono's print. The photograph was then digitally printed onto silk to be cut and transformed into our contemporary kimono.
The kimono has a chic neutrality on the front of the garment. On the back, white frames the shoulders with strokes of teal, red, and brown streaking across the back, as if a painted canvas is hanging off of your shoulders.
A versatile piece for luxurious moments at home or adding an extra layer in summer evenings.
Made in London.
