Vintage Komon Silk Detachable Collar Tie — Kiku-Zukushi Chrysanthemum Motif 菊尽くし

Product Description

A refined reinterpretation of vintage Japanese silk, classic neckwear, and the detachable collar — this handcrafted piece is made from a high-quality vintage 100% silk komon kimono, featuring an elegant stencil-dyed kiku-zukushi motif, an all-over chrysanthemum pattern.

The design brings together the crisp language of 19th-century detachable collars with the Japanese concept of date-eri / kasane-eri — a decorative layered collar used in formal kimono styling to add color, elegance, and refinement to the neckline.

Reimagined as a tie-integrated detachable collar, this piece is not a separate necktie and collar, but one integrated styling accessory. It can be worn over shirts, knitwear, dresses, jackets, or coats, adding a distinctive yet composed accent to the neckline.

The collar section is made from the patterned outer side of the vintage komon kimono, featuring a refined chrysanthemum design in cream, burgundy, and muted blue-grey tones.

For the tie section, a rare purple-gradient portion from vintage komon lining fabric has been carefully selected, adding soft contrast and depth to the neckline.

Because each piece is made by carefully selecting and combining sections of vintage kimono fabric, every collar reveals its own balance of pattern, color, gradient, and textile character.

About the Design

Detachable collars were once an essential part of tailored dress, allowing the neckline to be changed, refreshed, and styled independently from the shirt itself.

In Japanese kimono styling, date-eri / kasane-eri is a decorative layered collar used to create the appearance of wearing multiple kimono layers, often adding color, elegance, and a sense of formality to the neckline.

This piece reinterprets these two ideas through vintage Japanese silk. The structured collar recalls the clarity of classic Western dress, while the softly graded purple tie accent reflects the Japanese sensibility of adding color, depth, and subtle contrast around the neckline.

It is designed not as a historical reproduction, but as a modern styling piece that connects classic tailoring with Japanese textile artistry.
