Tsumugi and omeshi additions
Two new gallery additions today:
o Woven stripes kimono (most likely omeshi)
The first is a lovely spring kimono in my (tall) size and with graceful longer sleeves, a happy find for me. The silk has a wonderfully crisp yet soft feel to it. The second kimono is, well, weird! I’ve never seen anything quite like the motifs in the stripes on it. It’s done in a rough silk crepe that’s probably a type of omeshi.
Hopefully I’ll have time to try them on soon and see how they look. Kimono always take on added personality when worn, one of their many charms.

By looking at ebay sellers’ offerings every single day for years… :) Being tall makes it easy to keep expenses down on kimono, that’s for certain!
