Loose-fitting robe featuring tapered sleeves, a wrap-style opening, and a belt for an adjustable silhouette. With inspiration from the traditional Japanese kimono, valued for its practicality. Like the kimono, the straight cut and build of the Asane Robe is informed by the width of traditional kasuri (ikat) looms, which are characteristically narrow, allowing the weaver to control tension for a supple texture.

Made in Blue-Green Stripe, a warp kasuri and classic Japanese textile motif. The making of kasuri fabrics involves more than thirty intricate processes, with specialized craftspeople responsible for each stage. 

The fabrics are woven in a 77-year-old, family-run mill in Yame, Japan, using preserved kasuri techniques and salvaged Toyota power looms — relics of the Industrial Revolution. Once a nationwide-practiced craft used for kimono-making, it has gradually declined over time, leaving only a few remaining mills in Yame, which today are acknowledged as preservers of cultural heritage in Japan.
