We have a large selection of silk, cotton and wool Japanese kimono fabrics sold by the metre.  The fabrics date anywhere from the 1940's to last year, and are sold by the metre.   The selection  is updated regularly so do please check back!  Please use the links 'left' to see them.



Genshodo Indigo Cottons
Clothaholics is the exclusive UK outlet for Genshodo indigo cottons.  These heirloom fabrics are yarn-dyed and woven in Japan, then the designs are screen-printed by hand in a small workshop in Kyoto.  The fabrics  are a modern evolution of katazome (stencil-printing) and tsutsugaki (free-hand painting).  Both of these techniques have been practiced in Japan for centuries.     


Japanese Kimono
All our kimono are imported from Japan and are hand-sewn unless stated otherwise.  They date from the 1940's to current times.  The shorter jackets (see photo left) are worn over the longer kimono but they work beautifully as casually elegant jackets.  If you've never thought of wearing one before, have a look at our Gallery  to see how they look.
