✨ A new colour has arrived in our best-selling scrunchies! ✨

Handmade from authentic vintage kimono fabric, each scrunchie carries its own story, meaning, and beauty 🌿
The rich colours and traditional patterns make every piece truly one of a kind — no two are ever the same.

💇‍♀️ Wear it in your hair for a bold yet soft statement
✨ Slip it onto your wrist and enjoy it as an accessory
👜 Or keep it on your bag so it’s always with you

In the morning, you style your hair and don’t feel like tying it up yet ☀️
When you head out, wear your scrunchie on your wrist or bag as a cute accessory 💕
Later in the day, when your hair feels a little messy or gets in the way…
That’s the perfect moment to tie it up 🎀

Wherever you are, whenever you wear it —
✨ Always celebrate your own beauty. ✨

This was our final market of the year, and what a wonderful Christmas market it was 🎄✨
We had such an amazing time meeting so many of you and seeing how warmly Japanese culture was embraced.

A huge thank you to JAPANEASY for hosting this wonderful Christmas event.
We are truly grateful for the opportunity to share Japanese culture with so many people in such a warm and welcoming space.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your support, your curiosity, and for sharing these moments with us.
Seeing you enjoy our upcycled kimono pieces and connect with Japanese traditions truly made this year special.

We’re so grateful and full of joy — thank you for ending the year with us in the best possible way 💛

At our Christmas workshop, we created Christmas wreaths and trees using kimono that are no longer worn in Japan.

Seeing everyone enjoy Japanese culture through kimono made us truly happy, and it reminded us how meaningful these workshops are for us.

We’ll continue hosting workshops in the future, so we hope to see you again soon. Thank you for being part of this special experience 🎄✨

✨ Custom Haori Remake ✨

One of our beautiful customers asked us to redesign their haori, and here is the result!
We adjusted the hem and sleeve width to create a modern, versatile look.

At MEBAE, we offer not only haori alterations but also the option to repurpose leftover fabric into matching accessories such as keychains, scrunchies, or book covers (price varies by item).
This way, you can enjoy a coordinated set made from the same kimono fabric.

👘 Do you have kimono or haori sleeping in your closet?
At MEBAE, we give new life to unused kimono by transforming them into wearable fashion and everyday accessories. Let’s create something new together! 🌸
