The latest edition of our popular 100% organic silk kimono, with a removable tie belt. Featuring a burnt red, green, and yellow abstract print on medium-weight silk, painted by artist James Watkins.

In the kimono's artwork, James reflected the dusty tones of the red, green, and yellow shrubbery found at high elevation in Nepal's Himalayan mountains. 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.

With the close-up perspective of the canvas, the artwork's brushstrokes add a painterly feel to the piece, as if the paint is still drying.

Made in England.

The kimono is manufactured at a small-batch production studio in South London. The studio specializes in high-end production, working with many emerging designers and brands in the city. Each piece is made by hand in-studio by their talented seamstresses and cutters.
