Product Features: About Kyoto Kimonomachi's Yukata
Original designs available only at our store
We have been creating originally designed yukatas for over 15 years. Every year, we release collections that layer the thoughts of our staff with the real voices of our customers, carefully crafted as a kimono shop in Kyoto.
Proposing stylish coordination sets that are safe even for beginners
"I want to try wearing a yukata, but I don't know what kind of obi to match with it..."
"I'm worried that the combination I chose myself will look weird..."
For such beginners, Kyoto Kimonomachi proposes "Yukata Coordination Sets" that strictly select the best combinations from numerous items.
Not to mention the color matching of the obi to maximize the appeal of the yukata's pattern, this is professional styling calculated down to the details, including compatibility with "hanhaba obi" (half-width obi) and "shiwa heko obi" (crinkled heko obi). Even without knowledge of traditional Japanese clothing, simply wearing the delivered set as is completes a stylish and "こなれ感" (sophisticated/effortless) yukata look that stands out from the rest.
About the original yukata brand "Clarus"
"Clarus" is a brand inspired by the Latin word meaning "pure" and "bright".
True to its name, it features bright and gorgeous patterns using fresh beauty motifs such as flowers and landscapes, as well as colorful and translucent color palettes.
It expresses a bright and pure transparency that enhances the charm of the wearer.
Commitment to beautiful design
The yukata designs were created in partnership with a Japanese manufacturer celebrating its 130th anniversary. Designers carefully draw each design one by one to materialize the images associated with the themes. To maximize the silkscreen method, stippling is layered to create beautiful gradations. We consulted with craftsmen at the dyeing factory on how to layer colors and their compatibility to finish it into a beautiful fabric.
About the "Summer Memories" series
The "Summer Memories" series is a popular collection designed with summer traditions and traditional Japanese scenery that everyone has seen, such as fireworks, summer festivals, the sea, the night sky, and summer flowers.
The fresh figures of plants and flowers, the fleeting yet unforgettable momentary beauty of fireworks, and fantastic goldfish are expressed in rich colors.
We aim for yukatas that vividly color fun seasons and remain in your heart as special memories.
2026 New Release: New motif and size variations added to the "Summer Memories" series
This year, the new motif "Starry Sky", which has been considered since the early days of the brand, has finally appeared. Stars, moons, and constellation lines are delicately expressed on a complex colored background resembling a night sky with varying shades. Thanks to the high dyeing techniques of "Made in Japan", colors like blue, purple, and pink are vividly expressed without any muddiness.
Also, starting this time, in addition to the previous free size, the long-awaited "3 size variations" of S, TL (Tall size), and LL sizes have been newly introduced, allowing you to wear them more beautifully according to your body shape.
Introduction of 2026 New Designs
Cool Evening Starry Sky - Navy Blue (Yosuzumi no Hoshizora - Konjou)
Pale ultramarine with shading in light and dark navy. Hand-drawn moons and stars, along with constellation lines, expressed in white, dark navy, and shallow sky blue lines. This yukata reminds you of the Milky Way and constellations shining across the summer night sky when you look up.
Evening Play Starry Sky - Blue Purple (Yoiasobi no Hoshizora - Aomurasaki)
Pale blue-wisteria with cloud-like shading in light and dark navy. Hand-drawn moons and stars, along with constellation lines, expressed in white, dark navy, and misty pink lines. This yukata evokes the Milky Way and constellations that color dream-like, fun summer times.
