THE GIFT OF PEACE

Modern art using pieces of traditional Japanese kimono. Bringing to life what we find adorable and dear. Each item is simply a work of art. The one and only cushy cushion you’d want to hug each time you come to sit at your sofa. These materials, believe it or not, used to be worn as kimonos by elegant ladies on their special occasions. KnitCafe hopes to delight you with its array of designs in this genre of upcycled kimono.

We hope to hand down the esthetics of Kimono by upcycling unworn and no longer worn traditional woven silk clothing of the past.
