Vintage Japanese kimono ume flower on 1.5 inch coated mini clip. Colors vary. By Tomo & Edie.
"Tomo & Edie hair accessories are made from vintage Japanese silk kimono. Kimono is the traditional dress of Japan, still worn today on special occasions. The making of a kimono is extremely labor intensive. Only the finest silk is chosen to be carefully hand dyed and embroidered. Next, the fabric is sewn so that no seams are visible. It can take several weeks to sew one kimono. and it is not unusual for the price of a special kimono to exceed ten thousand dollars."
"In Japan, kimonos are handed down from generation to generation. When a kimono reaches a point where it can no longer be worn, we take it aprt with loving care trying to imagine who made and who wore it. Then we give it new life as a hair accessory."
-Tomo & Edie
