Honmonoya designer Chieko Hata was recently in Tokyo for a quick visit and offered us the most amazing one of a kind pieces that I squealed with delight when Masao opened up the package and showed them to me.
With one of the three pairs of tabi boots reconstructed by Hata San already sold, these one of a kind boots are being snapped up like cute cupcakes at a bake sale.

Traditional Japanese tabi boots with a funky street style make over.

This gorgeous pair of hand created traditional navy blue, mid calf Tabi toe boots have been given authentic Wa treatment by Honmonoya. The inside of these boots have been lined with bold red and white vintage Japanese fabric showing off the Honmonoya red label. These boots can be worn at full length or folded down to show the rich red inner lining.

These boots fasten at the back from the heel to mid calf with 12 clasps each with a Japanese kanji on them meaning - The power of a King. The clasps can be hooked at three different widths to expand or contract the fit of the boot.

The outside of the boots feature a hand stitched vintage piece of silver and gold flowers

Superior quality, gorgeous style and a one-of-a-kind pair.
