Bringing the kimono sleeping in the wardrobe into today's life: About Kigiku's semi-order acceptance

Do you have kimonos or obi that have been sleeping in your closet for a long time?

“I have memories attached to it and cannot let it go”
“It has a wonderful pattern, but I have no opportunity to wear it”
“I want to do something with it someday, but it has just been left as it is”

We have received many such voices so far.

Kimonos may carry special feelings that are more than just fabric.
Things inherited from family. Items made for important milestones. A piece filled with memories.
That is why it is hard to let go. However, it feels a bit lonely to keep them stored away like this forever.

At Kigiku, we accept "semi-orders" to transform those important kimonos and obi into pieces or items that can be used in your current life.

We can tailor from the kimonos and obi you have.

In Kigiku's semi-order, we will create items using the kimonos and obi you have.

For example,

• Dress

• Pouch

• Tote bag

• Mini tote bag

Remakes for such requests are possible.

“I want to turn this kimono into clothing”
“I want to use the obi as a bag”
We will proceed with such consultations carefully, one by one.

Because they are important items, we first check their condition.

The kimonos and obi you bring in are all important items.
That is why at Kigiku, we do not immediately accept production; we first check the condition of the fabric before guiding you.

Kimonos and obi may look beautiful on the outside,

• Damage

• Stains

• Deterioration

• Shrinking

• Tears

• Fabric weakening

There may be cases such as.

Depending on the condition, production may be difficult, but please rest assured as we will guide you while checking first.
Because you are entrusting us with important items, we will not rush the process but will make proper proposals after careful consideration.

We ask for a meeting before production

In Kigiku's semi-order,Meetings before production are mandatoryIt is.

The reason is to ensure that you can safely entrust your important kimono to us.

In meetings,

• Image of the finished product

• Measurements

• How to show the pattern

• Checking the fabric condition

• Points to note in production

We will align the completion image while checking things like that together.

Even with the same kimono, the impression can change greatly depending on which part is used where.
That is why we proceed carefully with each consultation, making sure to create with care.

About meeting methods

Kigiku is located in Osaka.
Meetings can be held in one of the following ways.

1. In-person meetings (recommended)
While viewing the actual items, we can proceed more smoothly from checking the fabric condition to design consultation.

2. For distant customers, online meetings
We will guide you through the design, points to note, and process while viewing the kimono over the screen.

Also, we apologize for the inconvenience,Meetings are scheduled on weekdaysIt will be.
(We are closed on weekends and holidays)

Recommended for such people

This semi-order is recommended for such people.

• For those who want to preserve kimonos they no longer wear in another form

• For those who want to use kimonos inherited from family in their current life

• For those who want to turn a memorable obi into an item for everyday use

• For those who want to create a unique piece just for themselves

Even if the opportunities to wear it as a kimono decrease,
I believe that the beauty of the pattern and the feelings embedded in that piece can remain in your life by changing its form.

Things we would like you to tell us when inquiring

If you wish to have a semi-order, it would be smooth if you could let us know the following when inquiring.

• Types and number of kimonos (obi) you want to remake

• Items you want to create (dress / accessories, etc.)

• Desired atmosphere (for everyday use or outings, length, presence of sleeves, etc.)

• Your area of residence (whether you can visit us in Osaka / prefer online from afar)

After confirming the details, we will guide you through the process.

To keep that important piece close to you in a form that you can feel

There are many beautiful things in kimonos that are too precious to just be stored away.
However, there are often few opportunities to wear them as they are in today's life.

That is why Kigiku,
To keep that important piece close to you in a form that you can feelI am thinking of connecting them.

The kimonos and obi that are sleeping in your closet,
I would be happy if it becomes an opportunity to shine again in your daily life.
