Hand-Painted Haori - Japanese Wisteria
$175.00
Description
A simple Japanese haori becomes a work of art when it is hand-painted with the right motif. Shown on the model draped over a men's kimono, it is unisex and could be the perfect way to top off a historical costume or worn as Japanese-style modern garb.
The base haori is upcycled from an unfinished cosplay, never worn, cleaned and repaired to be used as a canvas for a wisteria motif. The entire bottom hem is HAND-PAINTED, each petal is unique and can never be perfecty reproduced. The wisteria flowers fall from green vines and brown branches to a dense gradient-painted hem of deep purple. The pale lavender haori is meant to drape on the shoulders in a somewhat anime style, with no ties or closures, but can also be worn as a yukata when belted. There is no exact size; the model shown is set at around a 38-40 chest, but SLC can provide shoulder width, length, and other measurements if requested.
The paint has been heat-set and will not wash out, but to prevent cracking or damage, complete machine washing is not recommended. Spot-clean or hand-wash if necessary and hang to dry. The haori itself can be ironed on a poly setting.
This is absolutely a one-of-a-kind item, a work of art in itself. We will never be able to copy it, consider it unique and special!
