Samurai SOS26-KSK Kanoko Aimadara Open Collar Shirt - Natural Indigo

A vintage style summer shirt with open collar details, this shirt from Samurai is cut with a comfortable amount of room in the body and is constructed from an intricate, eye-catching fabric. Konoko translates to fawn in Japanese, and historically has referred to a spotted fabric inspired by the dappled pattern on a fawns coat. Due to the spiritual association with deer, Konoko fabrics were typically used for formal occasions and ceremonial garments.

Inspired by this history, Samurai has developed a highly considered fabric with a stunning level of intricacy. A sashiko style fabric with a fawn brown base layer, the garment features natural indigo blended sashiko stitches which are more prone to fading over time. As they fade, the Konoko style spotted pattern will emerge, creating a stunning and unique garment.
