Reviews
This one-of-a-kind Kimono Scarf of red crepe silk recycles vintage kimono with contemporary flair. Stylishly fragmented with running kimono insets, this Vintage Kimono Scarf is delicately corner-stitched. Made in the USA. Because each is handmade from vintage fabric, no two will be precisely the same.
70"l. x 6"w.
Museum Provenance
This Vintage Kimono Scarf is inspired by a work in the Smithsonian’s Arthur M. Sackler Gallery. A repository for Asian art and artifacts, the Sackler Gallery features both permanent and temporary exhibitions of Asian art from ancient times to contemporary. Highlights include South Asian sculpture, Chinese jades and bronzes, modern Japanese ceramics.
Every Smithsonian purchase will arrive with a museum provenance card explaining how it is adapted from or inspired by an object or objects in our collection.
Bought one as a gift for a dramatic dresser and one for myself. The use of some vintage kimono fabric appeals to me.

Comments about Vintage Kimono Scarf:
I use the scarf as part of an oriental display I have in a curio cabinet. I can retrieve it whenever I want to wear it. As someone else said, the scarf is nicer than it appears on the website. I'm very glad I bought it.
