Comfy, Stylish clothes for every season!

Separates are what Japanalia is all about...versatile tops & bottoms coordinate in stylish ways that take you through your day and an occasion in graceful comfort...interchangeable pieces in fine, and often exotic, fabrics help define the wearer...makes Japanalia a perfect destination for play, business, Mother of the Bride and special occasion dressing.  Courting "Mommyhood"?  Try us on for size!

MEN?...wear a skirt if you will, but every fabric group has styles that cross gender lines, satisfying the person who wants more than just polo ponies on his chest!  Loose, comfortable, simple lines in unusual fabrics make most styles accessible to both women and men.  Shirts & jackets wrap left over right, a signature of traditional kimono...so SHARE!

Jackets, Jackets, Jackets...cotton, wool, silk, appliquéd cropped, car length, knee length.

Can't find cottons
in winter, or wool in summer?  Japanalia always has off-season clothing available for cruise wear or travelers to contrasting climates (even discounted at our Hartford outlet. on one!)...just ask!

Pants...are pencil thin, full palazzo, balloon, trousers or Samurai!

Washable silk...Crop cowls or cowl tunics &  crop tees in many colors... black, white, beiges, pinks, reds, blues, purples and greens...Weddings...YES...Jeans...YES...mix and match!!!

TOPS?...The best are easy: Tees in every fabric, cowls in crinkled silks, & soft jerseys, crisp shirts with one button at the neck.  A simpler top often makes a stronger statement, providing a clean background for great ACCESSORIES!...LIKE...

Jessica Beels's beaded trapeze earrings and necklaces or lacquered & gilded paper pieces; heirloom & semi-precious constructions by Denise PetersenIrene Reed's icon pendants & imaginative necklaces...porcelain pins, earrings by Chris London; & funky earrings by Zei or Ellen...

KIMONO is, of course, what originally inspired JAPANALIA.  The national costume of JAPAN, these garments are made from humble cottons, linens, wools, or silks that can cost more than your car!  Not always as wearable these days in the traditional form, we think the sumptuous kimono fabrics are fabulous appliquéd to tunics, jackets, coats...a continuing Japanalia signature that can be customized in colors to suit your fashion palate!

Bar/Bat Mitzvahs, weddings, or a dress-to-impress event coming up? Black, purple, olive, brown, grey, washable slinky jersey faille separates are versatile, fit well, and become the perfect simple background for a fabulous jacket, vest or jewelry.


From our stores, studio, or on the road: We enjoy working with you...Eiko, Ellen, Karin, Georgianna, Larry, Donna, Laura, Sue,  Jose....

See you at a show!

Bye! Dan
