✦ Kimono Description

The one-of-a-kind Oso Berlin Kimono, inspired by the ferociousness of Berlin's underground scene, the city's symbolic bear and a real-life bear encounter, is a truly powerful kimono, breaking any limits in self-expression and style.

This bold, black kimono combines luxury with a fierce edge. It is accented with rich faux fur detailing along the shoulders, sleeves, and back, creating a sense of warmth and dramatic texture. The front pockets are also lined with fur, providing a cohesive and luxurious feel.

The neck and sleeves feature hand-woven piping bias sourced from Sagada, which adds a subtle, refined finish and a touch of cultural authenticity. Two black straps sit below the shoulders, each free-hand embroidered with bear heads on the edges, symbolizing strength and courage. 

Each strap includes three metal spikes resembling animal claws, adding a fierce, standout element that transforms this kimono into a statement of power and resilience.

The upper back is fitted with a grommet on each side, for breathability, design and more fierceness.

Oso means "Bear" in Tagalog.
