Mikkimono makes kimonos, and variations on this very ancient, simple garment pattern, to produce garments adapted to Western conventions, tastes and usage.
Using an eclectic mix of offcuts, fents, recycled, end-of-production,quality fabrics combined in new ways, made to client measurements and specs. Primarily interested in the creative use of locally sourced materials manufactured to create minimal waste.
