Stole - Couture Silk

Premium Silk Chiffon Stole Crafted from Pure Japanese Silk 'Matsuoka Hime'

Crafted from the finest silk chiffon, this stole features the exclusive 'Matsuoka Hime' silk, renowned for its purity and quality. The silk threads of the 'Matsuoka Hime' cocoons, meticulously spun into a high-density 21 denier yarn, create a luxurious, supple, and durable fabric with a beautiful drape.

The finishing touch involves meticulous hand-dyeing using the same gradient dyeing technique as traditional kimonos, carried out at a dyeing workshop in Kyoto. The stole is dyed in two elegant colors: Bordeaux and Cream. Every detail is carefully considered, resulting in a premium stole exuding a couture-like elegance and luxury. It is suitable not only for Western attire but also adds sophistication to traditional kimono ensembles.

About 'Matsuoka Hime' Pure Japanese Silk:
Silk production in Japan peaked in 1930 and has since declined. Currently, domestically produced silk accounts for less than 0.3% of the total silk product circulation in Japan. In order to preserve Japan's sericulture culture, Itoko established 'Matsuoka Hime' as a unified brand for silk products, from cocoons to woven fabrics, in 1997.

One of Japan's three major premium silkworm varieties, 'Matsuoka Hime,' originated from the Shonai Domain in Yamagata Prefecture. Since its establishment as Japan's first unified brand for raw silk and unbleached fabric, 'Matsuoka Hime' has been synonymous with Itoko's quality and has been cherished by customers to this day.
