One-of-a-Kind Silk Obi Mini Skirt | Upcycled Vintage Fukuro Kimono | S Size

This structured A-line mini skirt is crafted from an authentic vintage fukuro obi (formal silk kimono sash). Because one obi yields only one skirt, this piece is truly one-of-a-kind and cannot be reproduced. The result is a wearable fusion of Japanese ceremonial textiles and contemporary tailoring — refined, minimal, and unmistakably unique. 🌸 Key Features • One-of-a-kind (made from one vintage obi) • 100% silk outer with gold & silver metallic threads • Fully lined for comfort and opacity • 6-panel construction for a clean A-line silhouette • No stretch (woven silk) • YKK concealed zipper • Early hook construction (fixed waist) • Tapered waistband with core for a sharp, structured finish 📏 Size & Fit Size: S (early production specification) Waist: 67 cm (26.4 in) (fixed) Length: 44 cm (17.3 in) Waistband width: 3 cm (1.2 in) Fit Notes: • Designed to be worn at the high or mid waist, depending on proportions • Fully lined — not sheer • No stretch — please check measurements carefully before purchasing 🧵 Materials & Construction Outer: 100% silk vintage fukuro obi (with metallic threads) Lining: Polyester Zipper: YKK concealed zipper Closure: Fixed hook closure Sewing: Made in Japan Each piece is carefully handmade in Japan by a seasoned artisan with over 40 years of sewing experience. Due to the dense structure and delicacy of the vintage obi — often woven with gold and silver metallic threads — it requires a high level of care and skill to handle, and is partially hand-stitched where necessary, with particular attention to preserving the integrity of the original textile. 🤲 Notes • The silk and metallic threads used in vintage obi may show subtle historical traces. • To preserve the delicacy of the vintage textile, inner seams are finished with zigzag stitching rather than overlock, minimizing stress on the fabric and reducing visibility on lighter areas. • Photos are taken with a Nikon DSLR in natural daylight (no flash). Actual colors may vary slightly depending on indoor lighting and display settings. ・The model images are for styling reference only. Care • Dry clean only (recommended for silk and metallic threads) • Do not machine wash • Store away from direct sunlight and humidity ✈️ 【Atelier Direct】Free Express Shipping Worldwide from Japan via EMS (Express Mail Service) — insured, tracked, and typically delivered in 5–10 business days, though this may vary depending on flight schedules and local conditions.
