Made in Japan, Hand-dyed Indigo Haori, Aizome, Japan Blue, French Linen Indigo Dyed Haori Cardigan with Hand-stitched Whale on Back

This haori is crafted from richly textured French linen, dyed in indigo, and inspired by whales swimming in the ocean. <Design> The focal point is a whale, depicted in mid-leap on the back. A hibiscus-patterned cotton-linen fabric, dyed with indigo, has been cut into the shape of a whale and meticulously hand-stitched. To achieve a clean and elegant silhouette, the front and back panels, as well as the sleeves from shoulder to cuff, are seamlessly constructed. This creates a flowing line from the shoulder down to the hem. The design features a relaxed fit through the body, shoulders, and upper arms, ensuring it drapes beautifully without clinging to the body's contours. <Dyeing> Each piece is hand-dyed individually with indigo, making it a unique, one-of-a-kind creation. Embrace the distinct beauty of its singular dyeing. <Material> Crafted from French linen of a moderate thickness, it offers a smooth, opaque finish perfect for wearing on its own. Linen, a type of flax fabric, is renowned for its softness and crisp texture, with French linen considered a premium grade. As a natural material with "cool-touch" properties, linen's high thermal conductivity allows it to dissipate heat, providing a light and airy feel that doesn't cling to the skin. It becomes even more refined with each wear, developing a soft, familiar feel against the skin. <Recommended Season> Ideal for the transitional seasons from spring to autumn, it serves as a stylish outer layer on cooler mornings and evenings. It's also perfect for staying comfortable indoors during summer air conditioning. ○ Material / 100% Linen (Whale detail: Cotton-Linen blend) ○ Size / One Size Fits Most Length: 67cm / Width: 80cm / Sleeve Length: 69cm (from center back of neck) Returns and exchanges after delivery are accepted only for clear defects (e.g., receiving an incorrect item).
