{"product_id":"antique-1920s-reversible-japanese-hand-embroidery-kimono","title":"Antique 1920s reversible Japanese  hand embroidery kimono","description":"Reverdible beauty. These \"two-in-one\" designs were highly popular for international trade because they offered a dual look—typically a vibrant, colorful side and a more subdued or dark side.\n• Fabric \u0026amp; Handwork: Authentic examples are made from silk or rayon hard to tell.  and feature high-relief hand embroidery.\n• Floral Motifs:\n• Chrysanthemum (Kiku): Represents longevity, rejuvenation, and the Japanese Imperial family.\n• Peony (Botan): Known as the \"King of Flowers,\" symbolizing nobility, wealth, and feminine beauty.\n• Plum Blossom (Ume): A symbol of perseverance and protection against evil, as it is the first to bloom in spring.\n\nDating: Based on the vibrant color palette and heavy embroidery style, this piece likely dates from the 1920s to the 1930s, a period when \"Art Deco\" influence met traditional Japanese themes.\n• Rarity: Pieces featuring full embroidery on both sides are rarer than those with a printed reverse, making them highly sought after by vintage textile collectors.\n\nSize. \n\nLength : 50inch \/ 128cm \nNeck to sleeve : 22inch \/ 56cm \nWaist length : 52 inch \/ 123cm \n\n\n\nMeasurements \u0026amp; Sizing\n• Please check your size carefully and be sure of your purchase.\n• Best to use the measurements provided and measure a similar garment to compare.\n• No return policy.\nNotes Before Purchase\n• Accessories: Unless otherwise stated, any accessories in photos are not included; they are used to show styling options.\n• Vintage Nature: Antique items have an element of \"oldness\" even if unworn and will not look like brand-new modern clothing.\n• Flaws: Expect minor flaws like loose stitching or age fading. While I try to list all flaws, tiny pinholes or minor breaks in lace can occasionally be missed.\n• Care for Pre-1930s Items: 1920s silk and Edwardian muslin are fragile and cannot handle stress. These should be worn with care and ideally bought a size larger for a loose fit.\nShipping Information\n• UK: Sent Tracked \u0026amp; Signed (First Class for under 2kg, Parcelforce for over 2kg).\n• International: All overseas postage is Tracked \u0026amp; Signed.\n• Customs: Customers are responsible for all duties and customs fees in their country.\n• Europe Notice: Due to issues since Brexit, please monitor your tracking constantly. I cannot be responsible for the parcel once it leaves my possession, and returned items can take up to 90 days to arrive back. Let’s share the responsibility of watching the tracking progress!","brand":"rock my vintage dress","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58158303347075,"sku":null,"price":365.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1017\/8435\/5203\/files\/bba06add-il_fullxfull.8042021854_qdp5.jpg?v=1780174606","url":"https:\/\/rockmyvintagedress.com\/products\/antique-1920s-reversible-japanese-hand-embroidery-kimono","provider":"rock my vintage dress","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
