Vests, shirts, & blouses by Daniel Eck are made from the finest quality vintage Japanese textiles. Only natural fibers- mostly silk but also linen, wool & cotton- are used. Even the buttons are natural; shell, wood or glass (no plastic). Each garment is unique- guaranteed one-of-a-kind; individually designed and cut by hand.

All the materials are from precious antique and vintage kimono, obi, and haori. Only beautiful fabrics in excellent condition are used. Many of the garments depict Japanese themes and motifs, such as cranes, Mt. Fuji, dragons or scenes from kabuki and others are decorated with simple geometric patterns beautifully hand-woven. Most pieces are the colors of earth, water & sky- subtle browns and grays as well as blacks, blues and golds.

These garments make ideal holiday gifts or souvenirs- they are distinctly Japanese yet unique and highly usable. But starting at ¥4,000, they needn't be saved for gifts or special occasions. A kimono vest, shirt or blouse can add colorful flare to jeans or a skirt and can also elegantly compliment a business suit.
