A rare find, this embroidered wedding robe (called a uchikake) was worn by a Japanese bride over 80 years ago, and is a testament to hours of patience and work. With each careful stitch, the beautifully vibrant plum and lime colored cranes become a wish for happiness and eternal youth. The lengths of creamy white silk have a subtle chrysanthemum pattern—the flower is a symbol of longevity.

Andrea Goldman | Andrea Goldman Design

“Over the years, I’ve incorporated many pieces from PAGODA RED into my designs. Not only can they balance new furnishings (and often new construction) by feeling more established, but the pieces emanate a sense of rich history, often leaving you wondering where they were in a previous life. These beautiful pieces carefully hand-selected by the team at PAGODA RED, coupled with their unbelievable customer service, make them a must-have for any home.”
