Yoko Wrap Skirt
1 of 1 reversible skirt, that is tied at the waist in different variations. Made from various vintage Hanhaba Obis. Obis are the sash/belt often seen worn over a kimono. These skirts are designed to be worn over other garments as layering pieces, referencing the original garments' intention. The individual layers move freely, creating a fluid motion.
Weight is medium to heavy. Each panel has a layer of thick cotton inside, making for a sturdy feel.
Isaboko is a garment making project based on the notion that beautiful materials deserved to be seen, used, and cherished. We want to honor the weaver of the textiles, the dyer of the fibers, the silkworms and plants that created the fibers, and the original garment intention and life. We deconstruct vintage kimonos and obis and transform them into modern garments designed for anyone to wear. We design, cut and sew our garments in NYC.
