tomo & edie
Tomo & Edie hair accessories are hand-crafted from vintage Japanese silk kimono and are
shaped as "ume" or Japanese plum blossoms. Plum blossoms are a favorite motif in Japan
representing early springtime.
Kimono is the traditional dress of Japan, still worn today on special occasions. The making of a
kimono is extremely labor-intensive. Only the finest silk is chosen to be carefully hand dyed and
embroidered. Then, the fabric is 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, we 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.

All Tomo & Edie hair accessories come with a card with explaining the origins of these bright and
sassy hand made hair ornaments!  All hair accessories vary in color - we'll choose the perfect
one for you!
