The Japanese Yukata is a traditional summer garment, lightweight and comfortable, often made of cotton. It is the simplified and more casual version of the kimono, usually worn at summer festivals and fireworks displays. With its colorful patterns and breezy fabric, the yukata is ideal for staying cool during hot days. It is fastened with a belt known as an obi and is appreciated for its ease of wear and maintenance. The patterns on the yukata often have meanings or seasonal associations, reflecting nature and traditional Japanese festivities. In short, it is a staple of the Japanese summer wardrobe, combining style, comfort, and tradition.

Care tips

Washing machine, wash at 30°

For optimal machine cleaning, it is important to follow certain washing instructions. But for this type of fabric, a wash at 30°C is sufficient to remove dirt and stains without damaging the fibres. A gentle cycle will keep the original look longer.

Neutral detergent

To optimise the cleaning of your fabrics, it is recommended to use a mild, hypoallergenic detergent. Avoid harsh detergents that can damage fabric fibres and cause discolouration or premature wear.

Washing machine - delicate fabrics

When washing delicate fabrics in the washing machine, it is very important not to overload the machine, as this can compress the fibres and damage them. A delicate cycle at 30° maximum will keep the original look longer.

Wash fabrics of the same colour together to avoid fading or unwanted colour transfer.
It is also recommended to use a laundry net to protect delicate fabrics during washing. Laundry netting helps prevent excessive rubbing and stretching which can damage the fabric fibres and cause the gold or silver appliqués on some of our fabrics to fade.

We have integrated the IOSS system (Import One-Stop Shop) to simplify your European orders:

Orders ≤ 150€ (excluding shipping): VAT is collected directly during your order. No customs duty, no carrier handling fees, no surprises at delivery.

Orders > 150€: Thanks to the EU–Japan Economic Partnership Agreement, our products made in Japan benefit from total exemption from customs duties. Only VAT and carrier handling fees apply at delivery.

Canada

For Canada, the customs exemption threshold is set at 20 CAD. Thanks to the free trade agreement between Canada and Japan, our Japanese products are generally exempt from customs duties even if the value exceeds this threshold. However, once the order exceeds 20 CAD, GST/HST is applied to the entire declared value, even though customs duties often remain nil for these products.

Australia

Although the exemption threshold is 1,000 AUD, it is important to note that GST (Goods and Services Tax, equivalent to 10%) applies to all imports from Japan, regardless of the declared value.

For orders exceeding 1,000 AUD, in addition to GST, customs duties (generally around 5% depending on the type of product) may be applied during clearance.

United Kingdom (UK)

In the United Kingdom, the customs exemption threshold is set at 135 GBP. However, thanks to the UK‑Japan CEPA, most customs duties on our products made in Japan are waived.

Thus, even for orders exceeding 135 GBP, our Japanese products are not subject to customs duties. However, VAT (generally 20%) and carrier fees are still applicable upon importation.

Although we carefully inspect each kimono, it may show slight imperfections due to its nature as a pre-owned product, but it will not have any tears. Any notable imperfections are mentioned in the product listing. If no defect is indicated, it means that any imperfection is minimal and does not detract from the quality of the product.
