Vintage Tsumugi Boxy Contrast Top - Red Black (Small)

This top is made from two vintage Tsumugi Kimono silks.

Tsumugi 紬 yarns are made from irregular-shaped cocoons called Kuzumayu, which were once considered not fit for spinning even, fine silk threads. Compared to the shine of ordinary silk fabric, Tsumugi has a matte surface. Containing naturally formed slubs, Tsumugi yarns are durable, yet lightweight. Historically, Tsumugi was worn by farmers, samurai and merchants as casual wear. Although Tsumugi was once thought of as a sub-par textile, it is now highly sought after by Japanese Kimono connoisseurs.

This loose-fit boxy top has contrasting chest/ upper back panel and cuff sleeves. Model is US size 6 (bust 34 in wearing Small) Please see last image for sizing and garment dimensions.
