About Alice.K

AS TO WHY THE NAME Ever since a child, she has been inspired from the magnificent childhood fantasies of strange fairytale adventure tales lay down within the magical forests, dazzling among quirky images as well as wonderful illustrations of talking monsters, animals and trees. One of those that leave her with vivid memory is Alice in the Wonderland.

HISTORY She had been sewing and creating things since she was married. Much to being a stay-at-home mom, She spent her day by saddling up to her sewing machine to maintain her sanity. She loves to dress her children in handmade one of a kind clothes. She also like to see how happy her children and others get when she make them something that they like.

INSPIRATION The thought of using kimono as my inspiration came from the freedom of movement and convenience of western outfits making them appropriate for daily wear, whereas kimono and other traditional clothing have nowadays become luxury item set aside just for special occasions. It seemed a really waste to have these beautiful works made, often of silk or
cotton, just lying nearby without anyone to appreciate them. She supposes with my habit of recreating vintage clothing into a added modern interpretation suitable for how She loves to dress, She saw the opportunity to do the same using the kimonos.

Also, as a result of recent proliferation of cheap, on-trend, mass-marketed pieces of apparel, to be able to help avoid that horrifying moment where you show up at a function in the exact same outfit as your mate, Alice started to revisit to her love of vintage plus exclusive, limited, or single off pieces and eventually created Alice K, which re-visualize kimonos into modern pieces.

THE PRODUCTS
Each pieces are lovingly matched and conceived with her two little hands to preserve it uniqueness & quality. They are one of a kind, original and sewed with extra-care. All clothing are made using carefully-selected Kimono fabrics from Japan. She strongly have faith in high-quality and usable handmade merchandise and crafts, and am infuriated when people relate handmade only with flimsy, imaginative, impractical items that won't last.
