Dressing: Taking a lace kimono as an example, it not only tests the dressing skills of the dresser, but also the level of matching accessories and the care taken in the process.

Free luggage storage: Even large luggage is free. If you need to return your kimono to another store, we will arrange a time to transfer your luggage to the return store.
