The Midnight Ro: A Study in Summer Silk

At Renaras, we believe that elegance should never succumb to the heat. We are delighted to present this exquisite Summer Visiting Kimono (Ro), a garment of gossamer lightness designed specifically for the warmest months of the year.

The Art of Transparency Crafted from pure, open-weave silk (Ro), this kimono is a marvel of Japanese textile engineering. The fabric features horizontal bands of transparency, allowing the breeze to pass through and creating a sophisticated "moiré" effect when layered.

The palette is a deep, cooling midnight indigo, evoking the stillness of a summer night. Across this dark canvas, delicate floral sprays—reminiscent of wild clematis—drift upwards in soft hues of blush and white. It is a visual cooling effect, as refreshing as a shadow in the midday sun.

A European Summer Essential While traditional in origin, this piece is destined for the modern European lifestyle. Its breathable silk makes it the ultimate luxury cover-up.

• The Vision: Imagine this draped over a silk slip dress for a sunset aperitivo on the Amalfi Coast, or worn as a chic, flowing robe for a morning coffee on a terrace in Provence. It offers coverage without weight, and drama without effort.

Material Note This garment is crafted from Pure Silk, yet treated for resilience. The open weave is naturally airy, ensuring you remain impeccably cool whether at a garden party in Surrey or a gallery opening in Milan.
