Design Sample — Vintage Obi A-Line Mini Skirt in Pale Silver Floral

Product Description

Design Sample / Made-to-Order Reference

This piece is a design sample created from a vintage 100% silk fukuro obi — a formal kimono sash traditionally worn for ceremonial dress.

Although this exact sample is not available for direct purchase, similar pieces may be created as made-to-order items using carefully selected vintage obi textiles, depending on material availability, requested size, and production schedule.

For inquiries regarding custom sizing, similar color palettes, motif preferences, private orders, or collaboration requests, please contact us before placing an order.

This sample presents a soft, refined interpretation of Japanese ceremonial silk through a contemporary A-line mini skirt silhouette. The vintage obi panels feature pale silver woven details with delicate soft-coral floral accents, paired with smooth light ivory-gray panels for a clean and elegant contrast.

The result is a wearable fusion of Japanese formal textile heritage and contemporary tailoring — graceful, structured, and distinctly one of a kind.

Notes on Vintage Textiles

Vintage obi textiles may show subtle age-related marks, thread irregularities, slight discoloration, or signs of previous textile storage. These are part of the material’s history and authenticity.

Because vintage obi fabrics are limited and non-repeatable, each finished piece will have its own pattern placement, color balance, and textile character.

Photos are taken in natural daylight. Actual colors may vary slightly depending on indoor lighting and display settings.

Care

For final made-to-order pieces:
Dry clean only, recommended for silk and metallic threads.
Do not machine wash.
Store away from direct sunlight and humidity.
