These lovely clips are out of stock, sorry!

Adorable hand-crafted mini hair clips are perfect for little kids' hair.  Made from vintage Japanese silk kimonos, they are shaped as "ume" or Japanese plum blossoms. 

Kimonos are the traditional dress of Japan, and the making of a kimono is extremely labor-intensive. Only the finest silk is chosen to be carefully hand dyed and embroidered, and then sewn so that no seams are visible. It can take several weeks to sew one kimono, and it's not unusual for the price of a special kimono to exceed ten thousand dollars.

In Japan, kimonos are carefully stored and handed down from generation to generation. When a kimono no longer is worn, Tome and Edie take it apart with loving care, trying to imagine who made it and who wore it. Then we give it new life as a hair accessory for your little one!

One of a kind, Patterns will vary.
