Last Tuesday I was lucky enough to attend Suzanne James' Monthly Supper Club here in East Dulwich. She took on a traditional french theme that was enjoyed by all. 

Last night the lovely Perfume Lovers London held their monthly rendez-vous chez Roullier White.

There is one way, then, in which a man can be free from all anxiety about the fate of his soul - if in life he has abandoned bodily pleasures and adornments, as foreign to his purpose and likely to do more harm than good, and has devoted himself to the pleasures of acquiring knowledge, and so by decking his soul not with a borrowed beauty but with its own - with self-control, and goodness, and courage, and liberality, and truth - has fitted himself to await his journey to the next world.' Plato,  Phaedo , 114d-115a (trans, Hugh Tredennick)  Ph

We're delighted to be showcasing some of the beautiful kimonos from the Ona Kimono webstore . Ona Kimono is a showroom for vintage and antique Japanese textiles. All of our pieces are individually priced and on sale to become part of your own collection. All of our kimonos are vintage and date up to the 1950s. We specialise in the traditional Japanese Meisen technique that was popular for Kimonos in the latter Meiji period (1868-1910). Meisen silk is recognisable by its ikat-style weave that creates a charming feathered edge around the design. To view a close up of this technique please click on the kimonos in the shop.  The Ona Kimono collection has been hand selected over several years of travelling to Japan. Carefully chosen by a team with a passion for print and an eye for colour, each kimono displays a unique beauty through colour, pattern and master Japanese craftsmanship .   For more information or to purchase a kimono head to the Ona Kimono website
