KIM + ONO

One of my favorite little shops in Chinatown, San Francisco. The store is so authentic and full of beautiful kimonos and unique treasures. I always find something special here. Definitely worth visiting!

I have bought several Kimonos from here. They are not cheap because they are very well made and real silk. Be careful how you wash them but I highly recommend this place. It's a beautiful store. The incense is also high quality.

Beautiful, thoughtfully curated store with a great selection but I’m giving five stars because of Marcia. I came in and mentioned that I had a beaded bracelet that had broken (not purchased at this store). I asked for referrals - stores that can help me fix the bracelet. Instead of just pointing me elsewhere, Marcia took the time to help and actually found the materials to restring it for me on the spot. It was such an unexpected and generous gesture. She truly went above and beyond, and it didn’t feel transactional at all, just ***genuinely kind****. I am home and I still can’t believe my beaded bracelet was fixed. I will never forget this experience.

Very disappointed in the quality. I purchased a beautiful silk kimono robe in the San francisco location and after one week ( no washing, no abuse, just gentle wear) it started coming apart at the seems. I called the store because I had just bought it and wore it once or twice and I was told I could not return it or replace it. I am very disappointed in the quality of this considering the price. I have beautiful kimonos from Japan and was really hoping this would be a nice kimono style robe for relaxing in the evening. However, the quality of the stitching is disgraceful.

Long Silk Robe was a gift from my husband, I'm the one who suggested Kim+ono to him. I was very excited when I received it, the color looks great, the yellow outline on the print seemed thicker than what was shown on the website but that was minor. The real issues I noticed only on the next day, when I started to look at all the stitching. If you see the images that I've attached you can see that seams have fraying fabric, loose thread and general untidiness of the stitch. Not what is expected from a $200+ item. I've looked at other silk garments that I own (I wanted to make sure that this is not a common problem with silk) and noticed that all these problems are avoidable by other stitching technics. After that comparison the robe felt incredibly crudely made and generally felt cheep. I want to return the item, and wouldn't recommend it to anyone, now I just have to muster up the courage to tell my husband that the gift by my own suggestion was a flop.
