Japanese kimono fabric which has not been used and is in very good condition.
Details:
Fabric: Silk tsumugi, light weight with a slight sheen.
Technique: Tsumugi Handwoven - Tsumugi silk is woven from spun silk threads. This type of Tsumugi has an irregular weave/thread.
Colour: Mainly purple with black and multicolour thread running throughout, this is only noticable at close inspection.
Condition: Not used - Very good condition.🌸This bolt has been folded into 3 layers then rolled up, this means the outer piece is not the end - its possible the middle. I mention this as there is some slight discoloration on the outer folded section - see last photo. If you buy the bolt when you unroll it there will be a section midway or middle which this damage will appear. Hope that explains.
🌸 If you are buying 300 or 500 cm I will try and avoid this section of damage if possible.

BULK BUY - Kimono fabric - Silk Tsumugi - Handwoven - Purple
- Kimono fabric is quite narrow compared to normal fabric which is sold be the metre, this is because its made purely for kimono construction. Unlike western clothes which require lots of pattern pieces and styles, kimono are constructed much more simply and only the collar requires cutting out all other pieces are just cut to length and sewn together. Please check you are happy with the width before you purchase.
- If you are making your own kimono please note you would need a complete bolt for a traditional kimono or haori jacket. Unlike the west you buy from a bolt but in Japan you buy a whole bolt which can be around 900 cm for haori, 1200 cm for kimono or 2000 cm for matching kimono and haori.
- With vintage or secondhand fabrics on some occasions you may find a small imperfection which is to be expected with these types of fabrics. If it was a significant imperfection I would mention it in the listing.
- Items are not washable, please consult professional dry cleaners for advice if required or do a test sample before washing.
