Welcome to Kokin 2025! | Custom Design Links

Hi everyone, this is Maki!

Thank you so much for all your support last year—whether you made a purchase online or at markets, visited me at local events, or simply engaged with me on Instagram. I'm truly grateful to have you here!

I first started my handmade clothing business, Maki Co., back in June 2020. In the early years, I had the chance to host a few online workshops where I taught a little about kimono culture and showcased my products. Since then, though, I haven’t shared much educational or informative content, aside from my YouTube videos and short clips on social media.

So, I’m kicking off 2025 with my very first blog post! Woohoo!

(...I still can’t believe I haven’t made a single post here in the past few years—haha!)

To start things off, I’d love to share some links to the galleries I’ve created. Below, you’ll find links to my custom design galleries, featuring the Jinbei Dress (wrap dress), the Kimono Dress - Mini (short dress with an elasticated waist), and the customer favourite, the Cropped Kimono Jacket. Each link will direct you to a PDF showcasing visual details of each design, all available for custom orders.

I hope you enjoy browsing these galleries and find them helpful in getting to know each design better—especially if you're considering ordering one of our special pieces! If you have any questions at all, feel free to reach out to me via email or DM on Instagram.
