✦ Kalimo - Short Brown & Gold Malong Patterned Kimono
The story of Kalimo.
There’s a quiet magic in the mornings here. Mist rolls down from the mountains, wrapping the village in a soft, ethereal glow. I sat on the porch with a cup of freshly brewed coffee, watching as the day slowly came alive. Farmers were already in the fields, tending to their crops with a systematic rhythm passed down through generations. I couldn’t help but marvel at how deeply life here was tied to the land, to the earth itself. The first in a truly graceful manner, rounded up the picture to its entirety.
In these still moments of dawn, I realized just how disconnected I had been. The city, with its constant rush, had pulled me away from this simplicity. But now, I was finding my way back—to a place where life moves with the seasons, and each day serves as a gentle reminder of the beauty in tradition.

The one-of-a-kind Kalimo kimono is a cropped, modern piece that embodies minimalist aesthetics with rich Filipino influences. Its shorter hemline and sleeves make it ideal for casual, everyday wear. The lightweight, ultra-thin fabric is machine-dyed, delivering earthy tones with striking gold lines that evoke the natural world while offering a consistent, elegant finish.
This design also features a print of the Malong pattern, a motif deeply rooted in Filipino Muslim tradition, symbolizing identity and artistry. The Malong's vivid geometric shapes and intricate details reflect centuries of cultural weaving traditions, seamlessly integrated into this contemporary kimono.
Pre-washed for extra softness, this kimono is delicate and prone to natural fading over time, particularly with frequent washing. To preserve its intricate details and vibrant tones, we recommend soaking it before washing and handling it with care. Perfect for effortless elegance, the Kalimo celebrates the beauty of imperfection and heritage in a modern silhouette.
