Housai Co., Ltd.'s subsidiary and Kyoto-based kimono brand KIMONOMACHI (Kyoto Kimono Town Co., Ltd., Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture, Representative Director: Kazufumi Kubomura) launched its original new product, "Long Lace Gloves," on July 3rd, available at the kimono mail-order shop "Kyoto Kimono Town."

This product is a long glove, extending below the elbow, planned and developed in-house based on the existing popular short-length lace gloves. It is a versatile item for both Japanese and Western styles that can colorfully adorn your hands in a wide range of scenes, including casual occasions, coming-of-age ceremonies, graduation hakama, and special pre-wedding photoshoots.

Development Trigger and Thoughts Behind the Product

Lace Gloves Currently on Sale

Long Gloves to Beautifully Conceal Your Hands

KIMONOMACHI has previously sold short-length floral lace gloves, which have been well-received by many customers. It was during this time that the idea arose internally: "Wouldn't it be even more appreciated if there was an item that could subtly and elegantly conceal the skin of the arm visible from the kimono sleeves when wearing one?" This was the trigger for development.

While they can certainly be used in casual settings, the planning proceeded with the strong belief that "they would be absolutely cute and in demand as a special photoshoot item for pre-wedding photoshoots of coming-of-age ceremonies (furisode) and graduation hakama!" As a result, we have commercialized this long-awaited version that is versatile for both Japanese and Western styles.

It is also recommended as a stylish solution for when wearing antique kimonos with slightly shorter sleeve lengths (yuki-take).

Features and Appeal of "Long Lace Gloves"

Floral Lace with a Moderate Sheerness and Gorgeous Design

The base is a beautiful floral lace fabric with a moderate sheerness, which has been very popular in our existing short-length gloves. The delicate floral lace pattern elegantly and femininely accentuates your hands and arms up to the elbow.

"Black" and "White" for Easy Coordination with Both Japanese and Western Attire

We offer two colors, "Black" and "White," which are easy to use as coordination points.

An All-Purpose Item for Various Occasions

Enjoy them with kimonos, or pair them as accessories for dressing up on special days. Having just one will greatly expand your fashion possibilities.

Future Outlook

KIMONOMACHI proposes a lifestyle where one can casually enjoy kimono wear like Western clothing for everyday outings, with the concept of "everyday kimonos to wear like a dress."

Like the "Long Lace Gloves" this time, we will continue to focus on developing unique products that allow everyone, regardless of age or occasion, to enjoy a stylish kimono life in their own way, by carefully listening to the real voices of customers and staff saying, "I wish there was an item like this," and passing on the charm of kimono to the next generation.
