Where would one purchase a kimono?

Here’s a site that has kimonos for sale:

Where do you live? I live in San Francisco and think I saw exactly what you are looking for at the Body Time store on Haight street. Beautiful cotton robes, in a Kimono-style, but not exactly kimono patterns. Body Time is mostly a lotion and bath-products store…in the shops they sell robes too, but I don’t think you can order the robes online. You could call them and see if they would ship one to you if you don’t live in the Bay Area. http://www.bodytime.com/

Also, in San Francisco you can go to the Japantown center, near the Kabuki theater, close to Fillmore and Webster and they have lots of kimonos or kimono-like robes for sale. I have also seen some similar style/fabric robes at Anthropologie, but they were pretty pricey.

If you live in New York City or nearby then Peal River Mart on Broadway in Soho a few blocks south of Prince has whatever you might need. They have everything associated with Asia in any way.

I’ve been looking for a washable kimono-style robe forever. I actually (randomly) just bought a cotton one at a Indian store near me in LA.

Yukatas are the summer version of kimonos, and usually made out of cotton. Here are some resources for yukatas and kimonos that I was looking at:

Also, Pearl River Mart has a website if you’re not in New York. See their robes/kimonos here: http://pearlrivermart.com/v2/FramesCat.asp?iGroup=228
