Denim Samue Kimono, Handmade in Kyoto

A patchwork denim samue (workwear) that was created for a limited time at Ichi-moku, a long-established kimono fabric store in Kyoto.
The tailoring of the samue offers a comfortable fit, just like that of a traditional kimono.
A unique masterpiece finished casually with denim material and patchwork.

The following is a quote from the website at the time:

Hand-Embroidered Patchwork Samue Sewn by Craftsmen Over 3 Days
[The Best of Both Japanese and Western Clothing] Redesigned Samue for the Modern Era, Leveraging 25 Years of Experience.

The warm design, created with hand embroidery, is meticulously crafted by veteran artisans over 3 days, requiring significant time and effort.

Considering the balance of the design, approximately 7 types of fabric are used with hand embroidery such as cross-stitch.
This design was born from trial and error, from finding each fabric type to deciding which color thread to use for stitching, and where and in what quantity to place them.
The patchwork fabric is cut separately from the main body of the garment, and one craftsman painstakingly sews it stitch by stitch over approximately 3 days.
Please enjoy Japanese culture by wearing this evolved samue with its one-of-a-kind design.
