Pure Silk Kimono – Jewel
Some treasures feel timeless. Jewel is one of them — a turquoise blue reminiscent of satin-lined jewellery cases, heirloom stones, and the quiet luxury of things kept and cherished. It glows with a richness that doesn’t demand attention, but rewards it.
Part of the Founder Curated series, this kimono was chosen for its ability to transform the everyday into ceremony — a garment that lends even the smallest rituals the grace of a cinematic moment.
Made in Japan by a small, heritage-focused atelier, each robe is dyed, cut, sewn, and finished with care using traditional techniques. The 100% silk satin (16 momme) has a fluid drape — grounding in weight, luminous in touch, and soft against the skin.
The print features cranes and plum blossoms, two enduring motifs of Japanese artistry. Cranes, the birds of happiness, symbolise devotion and longevity. Plum blossoms, the first to bloom in winter, represent quiet strength and renewal. Together, they weave a story of resilience, hope, and grace into this fabric.
Jewel is for those who find beauty in details — the clasp of a favourite bracelet, light on polished wood, silk that slips over the shoulders at day’s end.

Founder Inspiration
Some pieces arrive not from a product roadmap, but from the heart. Vignette by GGCo. is my space to share small, considered collections that speak to a slower, more beautiful life at home. These kimono robes are pieces I’ve personally fallen for — things that spark a sense of quiet luxury, or ease, even in the most ordinary of moments.
In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Japanese silk kimonos began to appear in the homes and wardrobes of fashionable women far from Kyoto. With the end of Japan’s centuries-long isolation during the Meiji era, a flood of beautiful, unfamiliar objects entered Europe and the West — sparking a cultural fascination known as Japonisme. Floral silk kimonos became coveted items among artists, aristocrats, and women of the new leisure class.
These robes symbolised more than beauty; they represented worldliness, refinement, and a kind of quiet indulgence. Women wore them at home — lounging in sunlit bedrooms or standing for portraits — draped in the artistry and symbolism of another culture. Designers like Paul Poiret reinterpreted them. Painters like Monet and Whistler romanticised them. And over time, in the West, they finally evolved into objects not just of fashion, but of reverence.
This collection of silk kimonos is a nod to that legacy — not as costume or replica, but as something modern women can wear with ease and intention. They are made in Japan by skilled artisans using traditional techniques, designed to bring a touch of softness and grace to your everyday rhythm. Whether wrapped around you as you brew your morning tea or worn loose at the end of a long day, each one is a quiet celebration of beauty, ritual, and the enduring power of feminine self-adornment.
