I absolutely love Kimono House. Yumiko-san is the absolute sweetest person you'll ever meet. Ever since I shopped here years ago for the very first time for my first vintage silk Kimono, I can never shop anywhere else for my Kimono needs. I highly recommend stopping by this cute little shop. She has a lot of gems that are so unique and beautifully made. There is a variety of Kimonos, Yukatas, and accessories. You really need to love the Japanese culture and give it a chance to understand why certain pieces are the price point they are. To make a beautiful Kimono is not easy and very rare these days. A brand new made Kimono can cost thousands of dollars even in Japan because of the craftsmanship and skills being put into making the Kimono. High quality silk Kimonos are not mass produced by machine and are still being made by skilled Kimono craftsmen and craftswomen. There are more affordable Kimono options in this shop that are usually vintage/antique just like in Japan. Yumiko-san picks the most beautiful antique/vintage Kimonos and have them at a very reasonable price. One thing to consider, Kimonos give off the impression that its a one size fit all. However, Kimonos do actually come in different sizes. Vintage and antique Kimonos back in the day are usually made smaller but, Yumiko-san is very skilled in choosing a variety of sizes that can fit almost anyone that visits. Since Kimonos are so well made (can be delicate if made of silk) they last years to come when you take care of them. Yumiko-san also provides lessons if anyone is interested in learning the art of Kimono dressing. If you are thinking about purchasing your first Kimono, I would highly recommend you visit Yumiko-san at Kimono House.

This place is awesome! I had heard about it and decided to drop by one day. It is small but full of some incredible pieces. I was looking for something similar to a light coat, couldn't explain it very well but they were able to assist me and found exactly what I was looking for. So much amazing merchandise!

Great experience. Yumiko-san (the owner) is one of the most wholesome people I've met. She's very attentive, patient, knows what she's talking about, very understanding, and good at listen. Variety of kimono and accessories in the store, very beautiful and well preserved. Price wise there's also a lot of variety. Definitely recommend it.

Great unique store. Wide range of traditional and contemporary Japanese fashion, Stetson hats, and accessories like handkerchiefs and scarves. A must-visit for those interested in fashion, Japanese culture, or cool unique stores.

Kimono House is one of New York City's best kept secrets. The shop is full of exquisite fineries. We have made several purchases we are very proud of including two formal Kimonos. The proprietor is a wealth of knowledge regarding fashion design and the traditions of the merchandise. We will return to Kimono House again and again every time we are in Manhattan. For a five-star shopping experience, you will, too.

Yumiko is such a sweetheart and I've known this company for over a decade. Quality items and at fair prices (especially considering NYC rent). They have a great selection for any budget. So glad to see that they are open through the pandemic. Much love from Florida! <3
