I love ordering from KimonoPonchoCom. The owner is incredibly friendly and communicates thoroughly and quickly. The items are always packaged extremely well and the items themselves are of good quality. I appreciate the effort to make kitsuke more accessible in the west. As for the korin belt specifically, it's very good! It has an interesting opening mechanism but I think it will work very well.

Perfect for wrapping my obi, thank you!

Brilliant for easy kimono dressing, perfect for the job ! Arrived well packed, and very quickly, thank you very much

Yukiko is absolutely wonderful to deal with and has a great little shop! I’ve been able to purchase items to help improve my kimono wearing and even to help venture into having a go at making my own kimono! Everything was really well packaged with a lovely handwritten note. It was really nice to see actual postage stamps on the package as well - I have cut these out to keep! I absolutely will return to this shop - highly recommended!

Yukiko-San is amazing! This came so much sooner than expected, thanks to her suggestion of using DHL. I know shipping isn't in the seller's hands, but it did make a pleasant experience. She shipped it out so quickly and responded to every message. The items are exactly as described and in perfect condition upon arrival.

I haven't actually used this item yet but based on my initial impressions I think it will be very good. This interfacing is like a stiff very uniformly woven cotton--its not as crisp as a tarletan or a organdy but definitely has a weight that you expect to feel with obi. I'm so excited to use this in my upcoming endeavours. I love ordering from KimonoPonchoCom. The owner is incredibly friendly and communicates thoroughly and quickly.

Very sturdy and nice looking.

I had a larger order with multiple items, and Yukiko-san offered to upgrade my shipping for free :). the package came lightning fast, despite hitting a "force majeure weather event" along the way, and everything arrived safely. the items were meticulously packaged, and exactly what I ordered. The thread is beautiful, and the tools look very well made. I also was able to find a couple of kitsuke items that are probably only sold in Japan. Thank you again!

beautiful, cannot wait to use these.
an extremely pleasant experience shopping with Yukiko, cannot recommend her enough!!

vibrant colours, very fine thread, and of wonderful quality!!
