Lavender Japanese Pajama Set 'Fujikiri'

Lavender Japanese Pajama Set with Wrap Top, Cotton Tie and Loose Drape

Fujikiri means wisteria mist — fuji is the Japanese wisteria, that long pale-violet flower that hangs in trailing clusters across temple gardens in late spring, and kiri is the haze that sits over them in the early morning. The set takes its name and its colour from there. A dusty mauve runs across both pieces, soft enough that it never tips into pink, deep enough that it never washes out. The cotton holds a slight grain that catches light. It is the most contemplative piece in the line.

The cut follows a modern samue silhouette: a wrap-front top with a V-collar, three-quarter sleeves, a cotton tie at the side, a clean back. The trousers are straight-cut with an elastic waist, falling to the ankle. The fabric is woven cotton with a textured hand — softer than poplin, more structured than gauze — and it loosens with each wash without losing its shape. Sizes run M, L and XL; the cut is loose enough to layer, fitted enough to wear out of the house.

You get the wrap top and matching trousers, packaged plainly. The cotton is meant to be lived in — slept in, made coffee in, walked through a bookshop in. No costume packaging, no plastic accessory clutter, no fake silk gloss. Just two pieces of textile that work together, ready to be folded into the rest of your wardrobe.

Wear it as nightwear, as a long Sunday morning at home, as loungewear that holds up to a courier knocking at the door. Wear the top alone over jeans, the trousers alone with a plain tee. It pairs with bare feet, with leather slippers, with low boots when the weather turns. There are two Japans in every wardrobe; this one leans toward the wabi-sabi side — soft light, faded edges, no insistence. Free standard delivery.
