This vintage habutae 羽二重 silk haori 羽織, a traditional Japanese kimono jacket, captivates with its deep black color and smooth, subtly shimmering silk. The elegant fabric subtly catches the light and reveals delicate embossed ume branch motifs, similar to rinzu 綸子 work.
Exterior Motifs
The design features painted ume 梅 plum blossoms in red, white, and gold, arranged on thin branches that appear to grow naturally on the black silk. The overall effect is understated, poetic, and very balanced. The golden touches provide a discreet shimmer, while the red and white flowers create a refined contrast.
On the back, there is a beautiful plum tree. Below the collar, a paulownia kiri 桐 mon 紋 is embroidered, a traditional detail that reinforces the authentic and ceremonial character of the piece.
Lining
Inside, the haori reveals an ivory silk lining adorned with kiku 菊, Japanese chrysanthemums, and ryūsui 流水 water currents. This contrast between the black exterior and light interior provides an intimate elegance, true to the Japanese aesthetic of hidden details.

A very chic, refined, and easy-to-wear black haori. We particularly love the discreet shimmer of the black silk, very classy. The spring plum blossom (Ume) motif is superb! Understated, beautiful, and perfectly suited to a modern wardrobe.

Care instructions – Haori KOGEDO
Cleaning
- Dry clean only, by a professional.
For silk haori, choose a dry cleaner experienced in handling silk. - Do not wash with water (by hand or machine): traditional dyes may bleed, especially shibori fabrics.
After the port
- After wearing, it is recommended to simply air it on a hanger, away from direct sunlight.
Garment Steaming
- Gentle steam ironing is possible, without direct contact with the fabric.
- Generally, it is not recommended to use a traditional iron. Use a protective cloth between the haori and the iron if necessary.
- For textured haori, do not iron!
Odours
- We preferentially select haori that do not have a strong odor.
- In case of a light odor, a very fine and localized misting, from a distance, of a mild fabric spray suitable for delicate fibers, followed by air drying.
- Always perform a preliminary test on an inconspicuous area
Precautions
- Avoid rain and prolonged humidity.
- Avoid direct sun exposure.
- Avoid repeated rubbing and contact with light-colored textiles.
