Sharkskin & Bamboo Vintage Haori

Description: This women’s vintage haori is crafted from black silk in a classic same (sharkskin) weave, offering a subtle texture and sophisticated sheen. In Japanese textile tradition, same (sharkskin) patterns symbolize resilience and strength, making the fabric both elegant and meaningful.

The interior lining provides a striking contrast, featuring a beautifully detailed bamboo (take) motif, which represents flexibility, endurance, and growth in Japanese culture. The combination of the bold black exterior and the vibrant, symbolic interior creates a harmonious balance of understated elegance and visual interest. The haori is finished with haori himo (decorative fastening cords), completing its traditional form and functionality.

Fabric: Smooth, high-quality silk with sharkskin texture on the exterior and a finely patterned bamboo motif on the inner lining.

Style: Women’s vintage haori, suitable for layering over kimono or modern outfits. Its subtle exterior paired with a vibrant interior makes it both versatile and visually captivating.

Condition: Good vintage condition. The silk is soft and well-preserved, the lining is intact, and the haori himo is in excellent shape, with only minor, age-appropriate wear.
