kimono & yukata

Rakuten has some cute ones

There's a seller I follow called Ohio Kimono; the woman who runs it is really passionate about authenticity and seems to have fair prices. She sells at conventions but also has a website, so I think you might be able to buy yukata from her site or her Facebook postings.

She has good merch but legit be careful of her because she can be a flaming bitch if you criticize anything about her practices. I saw her blow up at someone who didn't find anything they liked and wanted better quality.

I've noticed she can have a bit of a temper, but I've always had good interactions with her. She saved me from some bad financial decisions (completely unrelated to kimono lol) so I know her intentions are good with people.

Idk if it was her working her booth or not but whoever it was was very unfriendly at last Ohayocon and since then I've had a negative opinion on them. Iirc she posted a political fear-mongery article on the Artist Alley International fb page (about trade or something) before which I always find unprofessional, but whatever.

As for where to buy, I honestly would just check eBay. I haven't looked for yukata before but I've been buying old haori from sellers kimono petit japon and sou_japan for a while now.

Anywhere that sells yukata that's 100% cotton or linen should be fine. It's actually a bit easier to look for yukata when you know what motifs and colors you prefer because there're so many designs out there.
