Shell Kimono

WHAT IS UNIQUE ABOUT THIS KIMONO?

supporting local communities in Bali

· Soft, sustainable & ethical fashion
made with Love ♡


**************************************

WHAT'S THE MATERIAL?

This product is made by a special
plant fabric called "Ramie".

Ramie is a plant from the nettle
family, native in East Asia.

Its leaves are heart-shaped ♡

This eco fibre is extracted from
the stalk of the plant.

After a delicate drying process,
the yarn gets spun.

Next step: the fabric is made
by traditional hand-weaving!

This is why it looks natural,
sometimes imperfect, but not
machine-made.

Ramie is a vegan silk alternative
that is lighter and airier.

It breathes like cotton or linen
and can be washed the same way.
Easy.

ARTISAN EXTRAS

The shells on this Kimono are
from Bali and Lombok and have
been stitched on each Kimono
by hand. ♡

Note the time-consuming,
hand-made "fringe" at the bottom
of each Kimono.

WHEN TO WEAR?

Many people ask about
which occasion the Kimono is suitable for?

The amazing thing is that this piece
of clothing is both formal and informal.

You can wear it at the beach,
in the spa, at a festival,

you can combine it with a pair of jeans,
and wear it in the city.

For a fancy dinner party,
combine it with nice earrings,
jewellery, lipstick,

but you can also wear it in bed,
in the morning, with your cup of
coffee, tea or cacao. ♡

WHICH SIZE IS BEST?

This kimono is unisize.

The cut is quite airy and loose,
so it looks super gorgeous,
whether you are XS, S, M, L, XL or even XXL!

On a tall person, it is like a jacket that ends above the knee.

If you are very short, it will reach your knees.

I've seen this model on all sizes, and all ages ...

and HONESTLY, this kimono makes
everyone look (even more) beautiful!

The shell kimono comes in a “short” (108cm) and “long” (118cm) version. 
This is measured from the neck down to the bottom of the kimono.
