The Salo Guardian kimono is more than just fashion—it’s a statement of strength and survival. The manual embroidered Buscalan batok scorpion symbol, with its deep roots in Filipino heritage, acts as a personal guardian for the wearer, a reminder that they are strong enough to face any challenge. Its minimalist design makes it versatile, while the symbolism gives it cultural and emotional weight. Whether worn in the city or in nature, this kimono carries the spirit of protection and resilience.

✦ Kimono Description

The Salo Guardian short kimono blends minimalist aesthetics with deep cultural significance. Featuring a sleek and smooth gray polyester Peach Twill fabric, contrasted by off-white borders, its standout feature is the manually embroidered Buscalan batok scorpion symbol on the back. This symbol, historically tied to protection, resilience, and survival, is a key part of the kimono's identity. The name "Salo" means "to hold or catch" in Filipino, symbolizing how this kimono embraces and shields the wearer from the challenges of the outside world. Paired with "Guardian," it represents inner strength and self-reliance, perfect for someone facing life's battles with quiet resilience.

The used peach twill fabric is sourced ethically from deadstock fabric in Divisoria, Manila, giving this kimono a sustainable and ethical touch. The embroidery was done entirely by hand with a manual embroidery machine - nothing but pure craftsmanship.

Salo Guardian is 90cm long and each side is 40cm wide and the back 64cm wide.
