Elegance of Kyoto×Coolness of Tokyo Yukatas dyed with two cities' chemistries
Trying not stereotyping traditions as traditions,
Not intentionally aiming at innovation,
Just wanting to prove that the fact "we are present".
Like a nomad watching out for a lighthouse.
Finding something new in yourself.
There you find the best and most of joy to wear.
Let's go with us?
HINAYA × Rumi Rock
Yukata " IKARUGA"
Rumi Rock produced the new Yukata collection with Hinaya Kyoto famed with Karakumi obis.
The handle investigated composition and a Locke taste further boldly, made the crest of the typical "Karakumi belt" an atmosphere [ that it is primitive and avant-garde ], and went up.
We have them in 3 colors, red, white, and black.
The crest who exceeded the category of the old yukata and exceeded space-time thinks that I want just those who are flapped in the world to wear.
Also can be worn formally and dramatically, the new narrow obi was re-designed of the belt of Hinaya Kyoto, is added the unique interpretation as Rumirock directs the scene of a yukata.
They are mixture of the essence of coolness of Edo and the elegance of Kyoto.
Please be stylishly dressed in this new yukata.
