Woman's Tunic Vest Vintage Japanese Haori Kimono Jacket Vest - Formica Classic

Description

"Formica Classic" Japanique Tunic Vest
This Japanique vest - modified from a traditional Japanese vintage haori kimono jacket - features a pattern and shading that reminds us of vintage formica kitchen tables or countertops. A muted bubblegum pink is the background to the snaking lines that change color as they twist, turn, cross and seem to almost dance! The black, gray, and white are actually joined by dark green and red.
Stand just a few feet away the pattern seems to swirl and move on its own!
Great lining. There is a small spot on the upper front panel, see photo.
Like the haori it started as, the tunic vest is not meant to cross over but should be worn open to reveal a bit of what is worn underneath.
We do offer the traditional woven ties - called haori himo that can be hooked into the little fabric loops that you'll find on at the mid-front of the vest. They are sold separately.
