【 History of Kimono 】
 
The kimono is one of the world’s most recognizable traditional wear and with good reason.
With its vibrant colors, intricate design, and long history, it’s no surprise that the kimono is one of the most iconic symbols of Japan. It used to be everyday wear for women up until the end of WWII.
In the modern age, however, it became rarely worn in favor of more western-style clothing. Today, the kimono is worn for special occasions such as weddings, funerals, summer festivals, etc.
As a result, many kimonos are left tucked away in warehouses, rarely or never to be used.In order to preserve tradition and salvage what was left behind, we created Mahari.
 
【 Mottainai 】
 
Mahari was created with the aim of upholding and promoting eco-friendly Japanese traditional wear to the world by following the Japanese practice of “Mottainai”, which means “too good to waste”.
We combined traditional design with modern styles to make our clothing more practical and versatile for the everyday person.
The cut of the dresses themselves was inspired by the kimono - its signature wide sleeves, a wide sash around the waist, and hemline shape are evident in the design.
 
【 Future 】
 
The dresses we make are 100% natural and made by experienced Japanese artisans.We decided to reuse kimonos stored away in a historical clothing store, which has been around for over 400 years in Kyoto. We made this decision to address one of the biggest issues in the clothing industry, which is fast fashion.
Fast fashion has become a booming industry in the past several years at a steep cost to the environment and human wellbeing.
To counter this, our company strives to use recycled materials and natural, non-toxic dyes to keep the environment clean and our community healthy.
Our dress offers you a profound experience that comes from timeless and high-quality kimono materials powered by modern design and experienced artisans.
 
【 Japanese Goddess “Benzaiten” 】
 
We offer two unique models in various colors that are inspired by the most famous Japanese goddess called Benzaiten.
In Japan, Benzaiten is a very significant and popular Buddhist and Shinto deity. She is a goddess of love and luck, as well as knowledge and fortune. She is the muse to all kinds of artists, and her blessings are sought by farmers hoping for a plentiful harvest, merchants hoping for good profits, and women hoping for success in love.
Because of Benzaiten’s significance and symbolism, we’ve decided to use her as an inspiration for the design of our dresses, with the hope to capture her true essence and spreading the love and luck her image offers.

【 Maintenance 】
 
Because of its handmade nature, the dress requires a delicate touch to maintain it.Ideally, it should be hand washed in water no hotter than 30°C, using a detergent for delicates, and rinsed off in cold water. When drying, use a coat hanger to avoid wrinkles and keep it out of direct sunlight.
If it must be washed in a machine, then choose the silk setting at low temperature and don’t mix with rough materials such as denim.Alternatively, it can be taken to a professional dry cleaner.
