This page is just for designers, interior decorators and textile or multimedia artists who use textiles in their work. We have as clients a good number of creative artists and artisans involved in a wide range of work: Our products have been used by commercial interior designers and decorators in hotels, restaurants, offices and private residences; also we serve several international high fashion designers who incorporate our vintage kimono into their various fashion lines; We also have a number of textile and multi-media artists who make many things from our bulk kimono packages or finer pieces; furthermore, we serve the burgeoning creativity seen by small and 'cottage industry' entrepeneurs who use vintage kimonos to make all sorts of things.
