Blue Winter Weight Kimono
This Blue Winter Weight Kimono is an open weave beauty! Dress it up or down, it looks great with practically anything. This will become your go-to piece all year long! This kimono was made for winter so it is slightly thicker than our regular kimonos. The kimono is made from super-soft rayon thread, allowing it to hang nicely and stay wrinkle-free. It was woven on the traditional blackstrap loom.
This fair trade kimono was created by La Estrella, a group of eight Kaqchiquel Mayan weavers from the rural community of ChuaCruz, Guatemala. The artisan group was formed in the early 1980's in order to support the widows who lost their husbands during the Civil War. They work on backstrap to create beautiful accessories and homewares. With the purchase of this item, you are helping the women in this cooperative to support their families.
