Our selection and quality control process
A rigorous selection, inspired by our years of service
Jérôme and Lucie spent 25 and 17 years respectively in the military. Rigour, high standards, and attention to detail aren't marketing values at Kimoky—they're deeply ingrained reflexes. It's with this same discipline that we select each partner workshop.
How we choose our workshops
Each workshop is evaluated against specific criteria before joining our network. And once trust is established, we remain loyal—we work with the same partner workshops over the long term. This continuity allows us to guarantee consistent quality and a relationship of mutual trust.
✅ Quality of materials — each fabric is tested for texture, wash resistance and durability before validation.
✅ Quality of finishes — seams, hems, buttons, closures: every detail is checked on samples sent before any order.
✅ Reliability and transparency — we only work with workshops that respect deadlines and communicate transparently about manufacturing.
✅ Long-term partnerships — we don't change workshops every season. Loyalty to our partners guarantees quality and consistency for you.
✅ Consistency with our vision — each product must embody the bridge between Japanese grace and French refinement that Kimoky has set as its mission.
Quality control before shipment
Before each shipment, our partners conduct a systematic check of every order. Non-compliant products are discarded. Our goal is simple: that the kimono you receive is exactly the one you chose — with no unpleasant surprises.
Why ship from Asia?
Our kimonos are made in Asia because that's where you'll find the finest workshops specializing in garments inspired by Japanese tradition. Working close to the source allows us to guarantee exceptional value, without unnecessary intermediaries. Delivery takes 6 to 12 business days—a timeframe we fully accept because it's a testament to the care and craftsmanship of our products.
