100% Silk Kimono Detachable Collar Tie | Vintage Komon | Atelier Direct

The design brings together the crisp language of 19th-century detachable collars with the Japanese concept of *date-eri* / *kasane-eri* — a decorative layered collar used in formal kimono styling to add color, elegance, and a refined accent to the neckline. Reimagined as a tie-integrated detachable collar, this piece is not a separate necktie and collar, but one integrated styling accessory. It can be worn over shirts, knitwear, dresses, jackets, or coats, adding a distinctive yet composed accent to the neckline. The collar section is made from the outer patterned side of the vintage komon kimono, featuring a deep indigo-blue ground with a traditional kiku-karakusa motif — chrysanthemums intertwined with flowing arabesque vines. For the tie section, a rare indigo-gradient portion from the reverse side of the same komon fabric has been carefully selected. The tie widens gently from the neckline toward the blade, creating a flowing line that feels closer to classic neckwear while preserving the elegance of a styling collar. 🌸 Key Features • Made from a high-quality vintage komon kimono in 100% silk • Natural indigo dye and traditional stencil-dyed patterning • Indigo-gradient tie section selected from the reverse side of the same kimono fabric • Designed with a gently widening tie shape and a refined pointed blade end 🧵 Materials & Construction • Outer: Vintage komon kimono fabric, 100% silk • Reverse / tie section: Vintage komon kimono fabric, 100% silk • Construction: Handmade in Japan • Approximate dimensions: Collar width at widest point: approx. 8 cm Collar width at the narrowest point / center back neck: approx. 4.5 cm Tie width just below the collar: approx. 4 cm Tie width at the blade tip: approx. 6 cm Long tie length: approx. 78 cm from the center back neck Short tie length: approx. 52 cm from the center back neck The collar and tie are constructed as one integrated piece, allowing the collar to frame the neckline while the tie portion can be knotted or arranged in different ways. 🎩 About the design Detachable collars were once an essential part of tailored dress, allowing the neckline to be changed, refreshed, and styled independently from the shirt itself. In Japanese kimono styling, *date-eri* / *kasane-eri* is a decorative layered collar used to create the appearance of wearing multiple kimono layers, often adding color, elegance, and a sense of formality to the neckline. This piece reinterprets these two ideas through vintage Japanese silk. The structured collar recalls the clarity of classic Western dress, while the indigo-gradient tie accent reflects the Japanese sensibility of adding color, depth, and subtle contrast around the neckline. It is designed not as a historical reproduction, but as a modern styling piece that connects classic tailoring with Japanese textile artistry. 🤲 Notes • This piece is made from vintage silk kimono fabric, so slight age-related traces may remain as part of the textile’s history and character.
