On a budget?... be sure to shop JAPANALIA ON ONE! weekly for best buys on closeouts & consignments every Tues thru Sat...& don't be an "outlet sucker" (AOL's words)...lots of what you see in outlets is "banged out" offshore for zilch to make you think you're getting a bargain...ours is the real thing!

Under $100 appeals to you? We're always making a special effort to create sporty/casual wear at especially appealing prices!

Looking EXTRAORDINARY is only half the Japanalia equation. Add hassle-free styles that are COMFY...and that equals CONFIDENCE!

MADE IN HARTFORD, CT is our other theme...in our 2000-sq. ft loft on Arbor Street Dan supervises Jose the talented stitcher handling all those specialty fabrics with quality craftsmanship! We design, drape, make patterns, cut, sew and applique right here!

KIMONO is the Japanese word for "clothing" (Ki="wear", Mono="thing") & do we ever have wonderful "things to wear" for you this season:

Jackets that expand on our "tux" and "hadagi" themes: tight or loose, bolero or fingertip length...drapey microfibers, silks, cotton jerseys...structured linens, raw silks, vinyl...reversible, or not...maybe even WATERPROOF!

Pants!...trousers, capris, harem, samurai, palazzo, balloon, cropped, slit...one size or xs, s, s/m, m/l, xl.
Skirts!...fishtailed, slit, long, or short...made to order, even!

Tops!...tanks, tunics, cropped with collars, short and wide, short and skinny, etc...many silhouettes in every fabric imaginable...like:

Styles for every figure, age, time of day...that's our specialty...we're keeping it simple, but trying to bring you your favorites in more fabrics that can bridge day to evening, business to pleasure, casual and dressy!...

By the way, we make clothes "in season" right up until that season changes into the next! (though you may find some "out of season" items in our outlet store, on one!, in Hartford)!

What are our Favorite Fabrics? Silks of many nations, textures, colors...Cotton twills, crepes, Ikats & Exotic Japanese weaves & prints...linen...microfibers...silk/cotton blends, wools, velvets, silk georgette, poly georgette, felted hand-made wools.........etc.! If the fabric speaks to us, we listen and create!

Come to JAPANALIA for Styles Old & New! Some revivals with new twists...& lots of new cuts...

We're famous for well constructed "comfort clothes" in natural (or at least interesting) fabrics, as well as sexy evening/dressy clothing... pima cottons, wools in weights that go from winter thru summer, linens, etc... and a few up-to-the moment synthetics....

Only women's wear? Men are coming' round in droves! For: button shirts in washable silks, reversible raincoats, pull-on pants, the non-tux TUX ...and gifts for all their lovely lady or gentleman friends!

Slimmer Styles!...gasp! Yes, while girls of a more "generous proportion" will always still hold a special place in our heart, we've pared down a few silhouettes, just to accommodate our sisters working hard to keep, create, or recreate their...figures! "XS" is part of our new creed: Next to every "one size fits all" is a "size one"!

Pants?...Also extra baggy to very slim...
