Confused as a kimono often in the modern world, a Haori is a traditional Japanese hip-or thigh-length jacket worn over a kimono, where the lengths can vary. 

The KAB version takes on unique proportions because of our fabric choices, in particular, the forms that happens when produced in the lightweight, 100% cotton, wax fabrics, often associated with African clothing. Looks great over a dress, worn with jeans, or on top of a suit., either way, it makes a bold statement.
