I wanted to buy 1 or 2 kimonos for my birthday. I am really in love with Japan, so I want a traditional one, made out of silk, with the obi belt and the undergarments and the sensu (fan). The problem is that I cannot find anyplace that sells Kimonos in the Orlando Fl. area. So if you know any places... if not then is there some websites? Thanks.
Try Ichiroya, Yamatoku, Kimono Lily, and Ryu Japan if you don't mind buying second-hand kimono and obi. All of those sites sell nothing but authentic items (unfortunately they usually don't sell fans, so you'll have to go elsewhere for that). I suggest avoiding eBay like the plague unless you actually know what you're looking for and can separate the junk from the good items.
Keep in mind that to wear a kimono properly you need a lot more than just the kimono and obi, and you need to match your items according to season and level of formality. Because of that, full kimono outfits are rarely cheap.
