Crafted from locally grown, rain-fed Kenyan cotton and dyed using 100% botanical pigments—including turmeric, marigold, and native roots—the Storm Kimono features a crisp, elevated shoulder and our signature sleeve. Designed for versatility across climates and cultures, this piece combines functionality with versatility.
The dramatic longline silhouette flows with ease, with side vents for movement. Finished with upcycled brass fastenings and handcrafted post-manufacturing leather details, no two pieces are ever the same—each kimono carries the fingerprint of nature, artisanship, and time.
