Traditionally worn in layers, this set of nearly identical furisodes is not only a great value, it's a piece of Japanese art.
Drenched in rich purple, the silky surface of these kimonos displays a regal sheen. Five family crests crown the upper back and sleeves in white, as a bright red fabric awaits you in the lining. While the outer piece displays vibrant pine upon the sleeves and bottom panels, the inner-kimono reveals these patterns on the inside.
You can wear one piece while you display another in your home. You can turn them inside-out for a completely unique look, or give one to a lucky friend!
