ABOUT OUR PRODUCTS
At CityZen, we specialise in authentic vintage Japanese garments that carry history, soul, and artistry. Our selections are handpicked in Japan and feature kimonos, haoris, and naga-juban, each telling a unique story through its colours, craftsmanship, and character.
These garments were once worn on special occasions and cherished with care - now, we offer you to give them a new life, blending traditional elegance with your contemporary style. You can wear them paired with denim, layered, or simply appreciated as textile art.
All garments are loose-fitting and can comfortably fit on different body types.
Every piece inspires a personal and expressive way of wearing it.
Kimono
Once used for ceremonies, daily life, and celebration, the kimono has always been more than clothing - it is wearable art.
The kimono is long and traditionally worn with two belts - an obi (wide belt) and an obi jime (a tie-type belt that is worn over the obi). We offer you a modern interpretation in which you can wear your kimono open or with an obi jime to adjust the length to your height.
Styled with modern outfits, it transforms moments into memories.
Naga-juban (Inner Kimono)
Originally an inner layer to protect the precious silk of kimonos, the naga-juban is shorter and made of breathable materials that bring comfort. Reimagined now as effortless resort wear, it can be worn at the beach, by the pool, at home, or in the city - light, airy, and endlessly versatile.
Haori
Today, it is embraced across genders as the most versatile statement piece - layered over dresses, jeans, or even swimwear, bringing elegance that moves effortlessly between worlds.
Shibori Haori
Each shibori haori is a masterpiece born from patience and artistry. The fabric is folded, knotted, and tied by hand thousands of times before it is dyed - a process that can take months, sometimes close to a year. The result is a texture that feels alive, patterns that can never be repeated, and colours that create unique patterns. Once reserved for special occasions, it now becomes a statement layer in everyday life - wearable art carrying a story of dedication and beauty.
Oversized Haori (Men's Haori)
Originally created for men, on the outside they are understated - deep tones, clean lines, a sense of calm elegance. But inside, entire worlds unfold: hand-painted or printed linings that reveal landscapes, symbols, and stories once known only to the wearer.
Their larger size gives them a modern, flowing silhouette, making them versatile and striking for anyone. And because many can be worn inside-out, they transform into double-sided garments - one side minimal and strong, the other expressive and full of hidden artistry.
