Vintage winter haori in gray wool with kasuri pattern

This vintage gray wool haori with kasuri pattern is a traditional Japanese jacket, originally worn only by men during the Edo period, but adopted by women starting in the Meiji period (1868–1912). Today, it is a versatile garment that can elevate any outfit, whether worn as a cover-up or a mini-dress.

Made of gray wool blend, this vintage gray wool kasuri haori is decorated with vibrant red, white, and green abstract decorations. The decorative pattern is created using kasuri, a traditional Japanese resist-dyeing weaving technique (similar to ikat), in which the yarns are dyed before weaving. This process creates iconic patterns characterized by blurred edges, known for their elegance and deep connection to local tradition.

Entirely handmade in Japan, this haori is a testament to Japanese tailoring and attention to detail. It does not come with haori-himo (the closure cords), but the eyelets are present so you can add them if desired, allowing you to personalize your style.

This haori is perfect for any occasion: it can be worn as a cover-up for an elegant and sophisticated look, or as a mini-dress for a touch of originality.
