Check Out The Kimono Kitsune Photo Shoot!
A long time customer of ours really upped her kitsuke game with a single simply addition to her wardrobe: a kitsune mask. We were fortune enough to see this coordination first hand at Matsuricon 2017 this year, and had to wait a few months for her to coordinate a photoshoot. It is amazing how the addition of just a single mask can cause such an interesting change. The Japanese kimono and other elements of this outfit were purchased from our online kimono store.

She painted her own Japanese kimono...

My kimono was designed for a show that featured garments made with recycled materials. I made mine with my old paint pants,
