Redesign (remake) your memorable kimono into a cool, modern look

Why not give a new lease of life to the kimonos that have been lying around in your closet or the mementos inherited from your parents or grandparents?

We offer a "Kimono Redesign Service" that redesigns your memorable kimono into a cool, modern look. With this service, we will transform your precious kimono into a new, valuable piece of clothing, and deliver it to you as a one-of-a-kind item.

Our production base is in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, where we have an atelier (direct store) and production workshop. Here, a Japanese fashion designer and pattern maker works with a team of experienced local tailors to consistently carry out everything from pattern making to cutting, sewing, and inspection with Japanese quality. In addition to selling ready-made products and a wide range of kimonos (tomesode, furisode, houmongi, haori, yukata, obi, etc.), our atelier also accepts custom-made kimono redesigns according to customer requests.
