A lot of 10 vintage Japanese silk jackets for women, including Michiyuki and Haori, 100% silk, multicolour, sizes vary, dating from the 1970s to the 1990s, in good condition with signs of wear.
Description from the seller
Summary: An exquisite collection of 10 vintage Japanese silk jackets, featuring a mix of "Michiyuki" (overcoats with a square neckline) and "Haori" (open-front kimono jackets). Each piece showcases different traditional weaving and dyeing techniques, representing the refined aesthetics of mid-to-late 20th-century Japan.
Techniques & Aesthetics: This lot includes a variety of high-quality textiles:
Silk Michiyuki: Elegant overcoats with hidden button closures and structured square collars, once essential for formal outings.
Ornate Patterns: Features classic motifs such as "Kiku" (Chrysanthemums) representing longevity, and gold-leaf landscapes depicting traditional Japanese scenery.
Textile Variety: The collection ranges from heavy, luxurious woven silks to lighter "Shibori" (tie-dye) inspired textures and smooth "Rinzu" (damask) silk.
Colors: A sophisticated palette including deep Bordeaux, classic Black (Kuro), vibrant Vermilion (Shu-iro), and subtle Mauve.
Condition & Sizing:
Material: 100% Silk (mostly).
Age: Circa 1970s - 1990s (Showa to Heisei period).
Size: Various sizes. Generally fits an average adult female. These can be worn as traditional attire or styled as unique, modern outer layers.
Condition: Vintage condition. As these are authentic vintage items, they may show minor signs of wear or slight aging spots, which add to their historical charm.
Why Collect? Perfect for collectors, interior decorators (as wall hangings), or fashion enthusiasts looking to incorporate authentic Japanese soul into a modern wardrobe. The intricate weaving and gold-thread details are becoming increasingly rare.
