Kimono Dress Gown & String Belt
Upcycled from a Genuine Vintage Japanese Kimono

This dress gown is carefully upcycled from a genuine vintage Japanese silk kimono, originally worn as a women’s black crested kimono — a formal garment with a strong cultural role in Japan.

Historically, women’s black crested kimonos were worn for highly formal occasions, most often funerals, in postwar Japan.
In some regions, the same kimono was also worn with hakama for graduation ceremonies, reflecting its significance as a ceremonial garment marking important life transitions.

The fabric is Habutae (羽二重), a silk known for its smooth texture.
I carefully handpicked this kimono piece, which is in very good condition for a vintage garment.

This piece is not intended to casualize mourning attire,
but to respectfully reinterpret a formal garment that has already fulfilled its original ceremonial role.
By transforming the silhouette while preserving the dignity of the fabric,
I propose a way of wearing a vintage kimono as a coat-like garment for modern life.

I do not aim to make light of mourning wear.
Rather, I seek to give new life to formal garments that are no longer worn,
allowing their beauty and presence to exist in the present.

The kimono was thoughtfully upcycled by myself and a specialized sewing team in Japan.
The sewing was executed by a First Grade Japanese Kimono Dressmaker (一級和裁士) based in Yamagata, Japan — a master-level artisan certified in traditional kimono tailoring.
This is a one-of-a-kind piece created.

“KAMON 家紋 ”About the mark on this HAORI
This mark is called KAMON and is the emblem representing the family.
In the old days, only a few people of high status were allowed to have KAMON, but in the Meiji era (1868-1912), ordinary people were allowed to have KAMON.
This haori family crest is called 「上り藤(あがりふじ) agari-fuji」

*Please understand that there may be stains and slight damage common in vintage fabrics as all of our clothes are made by either partial or full disassembly of the original kimono.

Build w/ a Friend, and BYOL (Bring Your Own Level)
Size: 4-tier, Style: wall mount&floor mount
Definitely a two-person job. Not because it's heavy, but a little awkward at first. I installed the first bracket, and my 12 yo assisted. Then, she hung the second bracket, and I assisted. Have a level handy. I didn't want to roll the dice and allow her to hang from the bracket, but it seems super-strong. We hung the brackets 32" apart, and 6" overhang, i.e. 48" x 12" laminate shelves. Gorgeous.

Nice, sturdy kit...would buy again!
Size: 4-tier, Style: wall mount&floor mount, Size: 4-tier, Style: wall mount&floor mount
Purchasing this kit instead of each piece of pipe and fittings required was a no-brainer. It was especially easy because all pieces are prepainted. It went together with ease. Mounting was simple with planning, measurements, and a level. *Note* I purchase the pine stair treads from Home Depot that are 1" thick and then chemically aged them before adding polycrylic. It is cheaper than plywood and shelving boards, and a full 1" thick rather than 1x12 shelving.

Looks amazing!
Size: 4-tier, Style: wall mount&floor mount, Size: 4-tier, Style: wall mount&floor mount
Very straight forward to build. Mine was not hard but to a bit more effort because my ceiling is at an angle so I had to get a little creative. I cut a piece of wood and placed it between the ceiling and one of the arms for it to be even. It’s also not completely even cause I didn’t have a long level but still looks amazing.

A Spa-tacular Addition to My Bathroom Oasis!
Size: 24in-Shelve
Perfect Statement Piece for My Spa-Like Bathroom! I know this review is super delayed~I’ve been living out of the country, and only just got around to installing this beautiful shelving unit. But wow, it was worth the wait! I hung it in my bathroom above the jacuzzi tub where I have vaulted ceilings and a skylight, and it fits perfectly. It adds the perfect industrial-chic touch I was looking for. I use it to store all my bath oils, salts, and candles, and it’s transformed the space into a relaxing, elevated sanctuary. The quality is fantastic and it was easy to install. Honestly, it looks like something out of a spa catalog. Highly recommend for anyone looking to upgrade their bathroom with both function and style!

Great deal for the money, look sharp, and very sturdy
Size: 32in-Shelves, Size: 32in-Shelves
I was looking to create pipe shelves in our living room. After spending some time researching prices for pipe and wood, I determined that I would save money by buying a couple sets of these shelves. When the shelves came in, I was happy to learn that they were indeed good quality and easy to assemble. They come with mounting hardware, but I’d recommend better mounts for the walls than the ones supplied. Overall, I love the look of these shelves. The wood is described as reclaimed, but it’s pretty much cheap, light wood with a stain. They still look good and are sturdy. The pipes has some silver paint brushed on them to give them a distressed look. I thought it was actually a little cheesy looking, but I happened to have iron-colored spray paint, so I just respirated them.
