✦ Ridge Flow - Versatile Grey Cotton Corduroy Kimono with Houndstooth Patterns
The story of Ridge Flow.
A friend had dragged me to this obscure little gathering on the banks of the Spree canals in Berlin, where a DJ was spinning tracks from a makeshift booth lit only by flickering string lights. It was early spring, the gloomy but comfortable grey days from the past barely hanging on. People danced in clusters, others wrapped in mismatched scarves and coats, their breath visible under the faint glow of the lights.
I stood at the edge, a drink in my hand, just watching. And then this older man—grey hair tied back, wearing a houndstooth scarve that looked like it had lived a dozen lives before it found him—walked up and said, “You’re missing it.” I must’ve looked puzzled because he pointed to the dancers and then to my chest, as if my heart needed reminding. Before I could respond, he walked away, blending back into the crowd like he’d never been there.
For some reason, I listened. I let the music pull me in, hesitant at first, then fully. I remember the gravel under my boots, the hum of the bass, the way everyone moved—not perfectly, not beautifully, but freely. I felt weightless. The music didn’t just fill the space; it filled me. It was like a reset—a moment where I wasn’t worried about tomorrow, wasn’t haunted by yesterday. I was just there.
When I walked home that night, the streets felt different, like they were welcoming me into some new chapter. Maybe that’s all life is—a series of moments asking us to join the dance.
The two-of-a-kind Ridge Flow kimono features a modern, sleek design with a minimalist aesthetic. It has a dark, understated base corduroy fabric complemented by a bold houndstooth pattern along the collar, sleeve edges, and belt.
The oversized wide sleeves and two large pockets add functionality while maintaining elegance. The wide houndstooth stripe on the back creates a dramatic, fashion-forward look.
Personal testimonial after six months:
Having kept the only other existing version of the Ridge Flow Kimono and wearing it extensively as my second skin—for walks, flights, events, casual meetups with friends, and even the occasional night out—I can confidently say this: the Ridge Flow Kimono is a marvel for everyday life.
It’s incredibly comfortable, both inside and out, with the corduroy texture so inviting you’ll find yourself (and others) tempted to run a hand over it, like a beloved furry companion. The deep, practical pockets are a game-changer—long enough to securely hold your belongings, even while biking or braving the strongest winds.
I’ve received countless compliments on this piece—a completely new experience for me. From random strangers stopping to admire it, to nods of approval in bustling Berlin markets, it never fails to stand out.
Its versatility is astonishing. In the summer of 2024, I never once felt overheated in it; the airflow is impeccable. And as the temperatures dropped, I wore it comfortably in 0°C weather layered over a thick sweater. Its super-wide cut accommodates layers effortlessly, while maintaining its signature flow that makes walking in it feel almost magical, like being wrapped in an aura of elegance.
The Ridge Flow Kimono isn’t just a garment—it’s an experience of comfort, style, and adaptability that truly exceeds expectations.
