Introducing our gorgeous Michi hōmongi, a 100% silk kimono that exudes elegance and sophistication. The stunning colour of wisteria sets the tone for this beautiful piece, which features a motif of a Japanese building nestled in a forest alongside a winding river. The gold accents on the Japanese building motif, Torii gate, and flowers along the riverbank add a touch of luxury and glamour, ands inspired the choice of name for this kimono, as Michi can mean 'path'. Perfect for any formal occasion or special event, this kimono will make you feel like royalty.
