Our foundation · Since 2000

Kimono belongs to everyone.

Since 2000, we have been guided by one belief: kimono is a garment of presence, dignity and intention.

Our journey began with Kimonall in Japan, where we reimagined how kimono could be worn, making it more comfortable, intuitive and accessible to all while preserving the beauty and character of the traditional garment. Today, Kimoniu carries that spirit to a new generation of wearers around the world.

Decades of dedication have shown us that good design does not have to compromise tradition. It can make tradition more welcoming and more personal, while keeping the quiet elegance that makes kimono timeless.

Our social responsibility

Beyond the garment.

We believe culture is most meaningful when everyone has the opportunity to experience it, and that true elegance is inseparable from the people, places and communities that give it meaning.

Community

Supporting Ishikawa after the Noto Peninsula earthquake.

Our connection to Ishikawa reflects our commitment to the communities behind Japanese culture and craftsmanship. By supporting local employment, cultural preservation and inclusive tourism, we hope to contribute to the continued recovery and vitality of the region.

It is part of who we are.

For us, social responsibility is not a separate initiative. It is a commitment to respecting Japanese heritage, the people who preserve it, and the communities where it continues to thrive.
