Pop-up Shops
Where to find us to shop in person!
What is a pop-up shop?
It’s when The Kimono Kitsune hits the road so you can shop our specially curated and diverse range of kimono-related products in person.
This is your opportunity to meet the owner, try on beautiful pieces, and uncover unique treasures that will transform your style.
