It's been a long time since we had a kimono thread, so why not have another one?
Post pics, talk about kimono and kitsuke.
What have you bought recently gulls?
Any good sales going on? I'm new to this and I'm looking to buy my first haori to start with. I love pic related but it's not available anymore.

I got a semi decent haul on YJA for not much money. The biggest bargain for me was a childs shichigosan obi set for 200 yen. Also managed to snag a haori, obi and kimono set for 600yen. I am thinking of moving away from western sales, not fully as there are some lovely pieces available on eBay etc. but I'm tired of being ripped off for things like obijime, obiage and zori from places like ebay and etsy.

Most of the sales atm are focused on yukata(since it's yukata season). However a few places that might have nice haori may be Yahoo auctions, Rakuten (check both Rakuten global and the Rakuten japanese site, some sellers I can think of on the top of my head are kimonomachi, kyoetsu oroisiya and cocoroad(japanese site only)) and sellers like sou. Sometimes you might pick up some lovely pieces on eBay.

I love it as well. It's nice to see kimono being revived and evolving.
This girl's outfits are always on point
