Beauty that brings you happiness, one of a kind in the world
The material for this work is chosen from thousands of kimono fabrics sleeping in drawers, selected for their auspicious patterns. Each piece is meticulously handcrafted with a wish for the happiness of the person who holds it.
A Japanese Gift
We utilize kimono fabrics that were once stored away, upholding the local saying from Watari Town, Miyagi Prefecture, by elderly women: "Do not discard cloth that can wrap three grains of azuki beans." We create products that give form to the beauty and loveliness residing in small pieces of fabric. These are also well-received as gifts for small tokens of appreciation or greetings.
An Item to Adorn Your Back View with Radiance
This hair accessory blends beautifully with any attire, not just kimonos and yukatas. It allows the wearer to express their individuality. Beyond being a retro-modern hair accessory, it can also be used as an arm band or a book band. It's convenient to have one in your bag.
The Joy of Gazing, The Delight of Collecting
Kimono fabrics with auspicious patterns that delight the eyes are items that bring forth images of happiness just by gazing at them. By collecting your favorite pieces, you can enjoy creating your own personal gallery.

<Let's contribute to clothing upcycling together>
WATALIS has collected and remade over 12 tons of old kimono fabrics to date.
By picking up our creations, kimono fabrics that lay dormant in drawers across the country find new purpose. We operate with gratitude towards customers who help us expand the cycle of upcycling.
We introduce our regional resource upcycling initiatives in a video.

<Notes on Purchase>
*As all items are handcrafted, please understand that each piece is unique, with slight variations in size, shape, and pattern.
*On rare occasions, if we obtain particularly well-preserved kimono fabric, we may create multiple items from the same fabric. Please note that the pattern placement may differ slightly from the photo depending on the cutting position of the fabric.
*Please understand that colors and textures may appear differently on screen compared to the actual product. If you have any concerns, please contact us or refrain from purchasing.
*As the kimono fabrics used as materials are often pre-owned and may not have labels, we often cannot identify the specific material. Furthermore, after thorough inspection and processing such as washing, we remake the items. Depending on the fabric, there may be color bleeding or shrinkage when wet, so please handle with care.
*As we also sell on other sites, please forgive us in case of a sell-out.
