We are ONE Year Old Already!

Hello Everyone,

Time sure flies because our little UK Kimono de Jack is one year old already. It seems it was only yesterday I've decided that we gotta have Kimono Jack in UK, and started planning it. Then we met up at Trafalgar Square with only 5 of us. I'm proud to say that now I don't even have to think about meet-ups, because all my wonderful friends in the group come up with such great ideas. So when I leave UK in couple of years, I know that Kimono de Jack will continue without me.

This time we've decided to meet at Trafalgar Square again, since it was THE place that started it all. I have a feeling that every October we will be going to Trafalgar Square from now on.

Kimono de Jack Anniversary Meetup October 29, 2011

Hello Everyone, 


October marks a major milestone for us because KDJ will be exactly ONE YEAR old! 

To celebrate, we are coming back to the city that started it all, London, and going out to the celebratory lunch at Nizuni.


Once we had lunch, the day will be open for us, as always. There is a pretty good chance that we will go to Haagen Danz afterwords, since it's a traditional of sorts now. If not, there are plenty of things to do and places to see in London.  


Meeting place is at Trafalgar Square, and we need to make sure to take photos there since this is where our FIRST meetup happened! :) 

When: 
October 29, 2011

Where: 
Trafalgar Square, London

Time: 
11am - ?

Wear your kimono and come to hang out with us!

First Kimono de Jack outside of Japan

Now that the very FIRST Kimono de Jack in UK officially happened, it's time to take a deep breath, relax, and start posting about it right?

Yesterday was a historical day in life of UK kimono lovers and Trafalgar Square became the meeting place for the very FIRST Kimono de Jack outside of Japan. Five kimono enthusiasts meet up there at 11 am to promote and enjoy wearing kimono.

We walked around National Gallery a little, then went to to our favorite Piccadilly Circus area and finally got lunch at SO Restaurant (which was super yummy and reasonably priced). After lunch some of us went to get ice cream at Häagen-Dazs, the best ice cream place in the world if you ask me :)

Next Kimono de Jack will be on November 13th, at Camden Market.

First Kimono de Jack tomorrow!!!

Are any of you as excited as I am? And I'm VERY excited :) :) I'm looking forward to tomorrow because Kimono de Jack will be held for the first time outside of Japan.

If you are in the area, come to Trafalgar Square at 11am and hang out with us. Wear kimono if you have one, but if you don't we will get you addicted in no time!

It will be FUN! 

First Kimono de Jack in London

Kimono de Jack events are becoming more and more popular in Japan, spreading from Kyoto to Tokyo and other prefectures. But Japan is not the only one country that could have de Jack, after all the essence of Kimono de Jack is to create more reasons to wear kimono for kimono lovers.

The  very first Kimono de Jack in United Kingdom will be held on October 23rd in London. There are no rules, no obligation to stay. It is encouraged to wear a kimono to the meet up, after all, the event is created as a reason to wear kimono. But if you don't have one, do not despair. Come anyway and enjoy the day.

When: 
October 23rd, 2010

Where:
Trafalgar Square, London

Time: 
11:00 - ?

What to do: 
Possibly visit the museums at the Square, get a cup of tea of coffee, and enjoy the company of fellow kimono lovers.
