Silk Kimono

without comments

Why is a kimono so expensive?

Isn't $10,000 a bit steep for a few pieces of colored fabric, even if it is silk? Is there something terribly difficult about how they are made?

For comparison, a 3 meter by 4 meter Persian carpet can take as long as a year to weave, but you can get one for a couple grand.
More detail: A hand-woven, silk, persian carpet, that takes more than a man-year of human work, is much less than $10,000.

I got a nice one on eBay for $29 including shipping from Kyoto.

$10000 for a kimono is extremely steep unless it very old and/or hand woven etc.
