BECAUSE JAPANESE TEXTILES DESERVE A SECOND LIFE

Founder Aya was born in Isesaki, once a thriving center of kimono textile production.

Growing up, she was surrounded by stories of Meisen—vibrant silk fabrics that were once worn by millions, but have now almost disappeared.

Aya began with a simple question:

what if these textiles could live again in today’s world?

By carefully unpicking vintage kimono and reimagining them into modern garments, we transform history into something you can wear.

Each piece carries a past, yet belongs to the present.

About

our story

Kimono Tits

Meisen is a kimono for everyday wear produced in the northern Kanto region from the Meiji period to the early Showa period. Please enjoy the one-of-a-kind clothing made from upcycled colorful and playful "Isesaki Meisen".

The design

We draw inspiration from Japan's uniqueness, culture, customs, and local characteristics, while incorporating them into modern designs.

textile

``Ainonuno'' is an original textile that uses modern technology and is inspired by Meisen patterns. This is not Meisen itself, but our own interpretation and design, but we tried a new expression while maintaining Meisen's characteristic pattern.
