[Kimono fabric] The difference between real and fake

HeWhoMe manufactures and produces unique and beautiful kimono sneakers using only the best kimono materials sourced from Japan's leading wholesalers and recyclers. The highest grade kimono materials are made from a fabric called "Komon".
Komon is a type of dyed kimono fabric characterized by small, simple repeated patterns, creating sophisticated designs that are ideal for making shoes.

The difference between Yuki and Komon

Yuki Tsumugi is a traditional Japanese kimono with classic patterns, but the bold designs of Yuki Tsumugi are not suitable for shoes.
Komon, a kimono with a pattern that is repeatedly stencil-dyed in one direction, is more casual than Yuki, which is for formal wear. Despite its more humble origins, Komon is made of pure silk without sacrificing quality.

Yuki is gorgeous in itself, but its boldness does not translate well into shoe designs, and Komon is more casual than formal wear, but it produces artistic and sophisticated shoe designs.

Stay away from fake kimonos

For experienced kimono dealers and buyers, fake kimonos are easy to spot: they often contain polyester, which feels significantly less pleasant to the touch than silk.


For kimono shoe makers like HeWhoMe, who have made a name for themselves by creating high-quality, custom-made shoes for discerning shoe buyers, fake kimonos are everywhere and of no use.

Finding quality kimono recyclers in Japan is easier than ever. While older people are getting rid of their kimonos, the younger generation is discovering their beauty and utility, creating a healthy wholesale market.

Komon expresses the imagination and fun of sneakers. Sneakers are the most fun of shoes. Sneakers are versatile and can help you walk long distances, sprint quickly, or take a casual stroll. Whatever the activity, a durable sneaker is the ideal shoe, and what makes HeWhoMe sneakers better than other athletic shoes is their beauty and comfort.
