Vintage Komon Kimono Silk Cravat — Pale Celadon Kiku-Karakusa 菊唐草文

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 features a soft, luminous palette of pale celadon, misty blue-green, and ivory, adorned with a traditional kiku-karakusa motif — chrysanthemums intertwined with flowing arabesque vines. Graceful and quietly distinctive, it adds a refined Japanese textile accent to tailored dressing.

Designed to be worn not only as a cravat, but also as a scarf or an alternative to a necktie, it pairs beautifully with jackets, coats, or 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.

About the Cravat

The cravat is a classic form of neckwear that predates the modern necktie, long associated with tailored dress and expressive personal style.
