Luxury Japanese brand amaud breathes life back into vintage kimonos by reworking them into new styles, preserving the beautiful fabrics and showing them in a new light. The brand rates “Great” overall; it uses lower-impact materials, and all the clothes are made in-house by the brand’s owner. Cut from two different kimonos, the Rose jumpsuit has a flattering silhouette, unusual buttons, and a cinching waist belt. The brand recommends wearing it with flats, but we also love it with heels for weddings.
