Originally created as Japanese workwear, this vintage happi coat feels just as contemporary today.
Likely dating to the Shōwa period (circa 1960s–1970s), it was originally worn as part of a Japanese work or festival group. The symbols on the lapels and the oversized emblem on the back identified the community it belonged to, turning an everyday garment into a shared identity.
Made from sturdy indigo-dyed cotton, it was made to be worn every day. Over time, the softened fabric and gentle signs of use have become part of its story.
At Aura Berlin, we believe that the right garment is the one that feels like an extension of your own personality. We’d love to help you find yours♥️
