RECYCLED KIMONO BRA STRAPS


This product is environmentally friendly. Click icon for more information. This product was made by hand. Click icon for more information. Strapped for fashion ideas? Add a flash of Japanese flair to your wardrobe with stylish bra straps handmade in Japan from vintage kimono fabric. Each print is unique and features a beautiful ornamental design characteristic to kimono fabric.

Easy to use, simply replace the straps on your convertible bra, strapless bra, swimsuit or tube top with these cool kimono straps. A subtle way to accessorize and make an ordinary garment much more fun!

Designed by Joe Wayno, who while living in Japan was inspired by how Japanese youth mix and match traditional kimono material with their fashion. It turns out that there is a surplus of kimono fabric in Japan. After WWII, kimono wearers became a minority in Japan, but the fabric was still produced. Joe purchased excess bolts of overstocked kimono fabric from the 70s and 80s and has been designing his own line of traditional-meets-modern accessories ever since. Handmade in Japan.

Comments about RECYCLED KIMONO BRA STRAPS:

great idea, looks great, but the hooks or clasp is plastic not metal and it broke the first time out. We had to replace the hooks with metal. Why not use them in the first place.

UncommonGoods Response: We're happy to replace this for you at no charge! Please call us at 888-365-0056 so we can help.

Comments about RECYCLED KIMONO BRA STRAPS:

I bought these for my 18-yr-old as one of her high school graduation gifts. She loves all things Japanese and recently saw the bra straps in the catalog. I surprised her with them and she was tickled pink! They're very well made, pretty, and something out of the ordinary.

Comments about RECYCLED KIMONO BRA STRAPS:

By 'unattractive design' I mean that the metal pieces are very large and cheap looking, but it is the comfort and function that are completely lacking. There is absolutely no give in the material and it is very scratchy. You have to adjust them to be worn pretty tight or they pucker on your shoulders, neither giving you support or looking nice, and they leave big, scratchy, red, bra-strap marks.

Comments about RECYCLED KIMONO BRA STRAPS:

I love the look and bought both colors (red and black) to spice up the camis I wear under sundresses and tanks in the summer. They are so pretty and unique. I wish the yellow color from the shoe laces was available in the straps as well! My only issue is that as a larger-busted woman-40B, these straps have no "stretch" to them (made from recyled kimonos, of course they don't!) and as such can cut into my shoulders a bit. If I loosen them I lose the support/lift that I need from the strap. Something to think about. Still pretty and I am looking for a cami with more built-in support.

The fabric is gorgeous so when your strap pops out, it becomes an accessory instead of a fashion faux pas.
