Vintage Komon Kimono Silk Cravat — Kiku-Zukushi Chrysanthemum 菊尽くし

Product Description

A refined reinterpretation of vintage Japanese silk and classic neckwear — this handcrafted cravat is made from a high-quality vintage komon kimono in 100% silk, featuring traditional stencil-dyed patterning.

The textile is adorned with an all-over chrysanthemum motif, known as kiku-zukushi, creating a lively yet graceful surface rich in rhythm and detail. Its soft palette of warm ivory, rose, burgundy, pale blue, and grey gives the piece a refined vintage character that pairs beautifully with both classic tailoring and relaxed shirting.

Designed to be worn not only as a cravat, but also as a scarf or an alternative to a necktie, it brings a graceful Japanese textile accent to jackets, coats, and shirts. Because each piece is cut from a different section of a vintage kimono, every cravat reveals its own unique balance of pattern and color.
