I absolutely love the Vintage Stories Patchwork Trudi! The combination of silk and cotton gives it a lovely sheen, while the fabric itself feels wonderfully soft. The colors in the patchwork allow it to go with just about anything. The Trudi is such a versatile piece—it can be dressed up for an elegant look or worn casually for an every day outfit. It’s effortlessly beautiful and perfect for just about any occasion!
These are the most stunning pieces of wearable art. This is #2 and has this amazing shimmery copper threads that are shear c enough to catch thr brightness if the turquoise underneath. I got the long one in #5 and this shorty. Besides feeling a bit gluttonous i love them both.
Thanks Julahas for another amazing piece.
Ingrid, your Mum would be so thrilled with these.
I really love the Trudi Poncho silhouette AND the vintage silk look, so getting this was almost a no-brainer for me!
💜 the fabulous bright colors and interesting stitching pattern
💜 the weight of the fabric - these are very lightweight, which makes them easy to wear…and while they are not too warm or heavy, they do surprisingly well as a warm layer if it isn’t too cold
💜 the length, which feels perfect to me - not too long, not too cropped. I think they are great over dresses (which is what I mostly wear)
💜 they feel special - the silk feels luxurious, and I think they elevate the look of any outfit, particularly when worn with the solid colors of wool& clothes
🔻the stitching is a bit fragile, and I do find it catching on things when I’m wearing it, so end up with loose/broken stitches all over after wearing. This isn’t necessarily a negative - it is the sign of a well-loved item - but you have to be prepared that it won’t stay in pristine condition with wear
🔻as with all Trudi ponchos (and kimonos), the ”sleeves” have a bad habit of catching on things - door handles, corners, etc. - so you need to learn to be careful. If you do catch it on something, the silk will stretch a bit…and lose it’s shape (ask me how I know 🤦♀️), although possibly this is fixed with washing.
🔻 the poncho is made of two differently colored pieces of silk stitched together. While definitely reversible, the ”reverse side” has edging in the ”main side” color, so it looks a bit as if it is inside out (and the Julahas tag is visible then).
One additional comment. Because of the size of the fabric for these (and how light weight they are, I suppose), the vintage silk Trudi poncho has no pockets. As someone who uses my pockets like crazy, I wanted to be able to access the ones in my dress if my outer layer didn’t have them. This one was customized to have slits on the side so I can easily access my dress pockets through the poncho, without having to push it back, and this works brilliantly! You can see my hand in my dress pocket in the picture with the turquoise side out.
Overall, I love this item, and it is a struggle to not want to buy all the pretty colors so I have some to match every outfit! As someone who wears a lot of color, I like having them coordinate nicely, so find it is a bit harder to match them to dresses/outfits, partly because these have so much color too. But they are fun!
Ladies!! This blue is so rich! It reads more peacock/teal in real life so I paired it with a rich carmel and neutral charcoal. This line of capes is super soft! Feels slightly heavier than a Fusion, if not the same weight? But it's definitely lighter than the Darias and Plaids. I scored an imperfect (barely noticeable color bleed) petite. I love the closer fit and less fabric. Whoa. I'm 5'7 and 170ish pounds. Glad I have a blue cape now that will pair nicely with my less emo (read "black") color preferences. 💙
I've wanted one of these obi belts for 3 years and finally was able to purchase along with my custom made Linen drawstring overlay in chartreuse color!
I Took advantage of a tree in my back woods who's fall leaves coordinated beautifully with the colors of my new Julahas pieces! I am loving this Linen overlay. I purchased it with the intent of using it as a cute layer, but, also as a key travel piece. I see this doubling as a beach cover up, a bathrobe, sun protection and all around easy layering piece. My ochre Obi belt and Chartreuse linen drawstring make a great pair. I can see these being used year round!
I have been thinking about Daria Cape Seine for a couple of years. Luckily, the imperfect sale was my opportunity to try one! I would describe this cape as understated elegance. It has beautiful rich colors, but also a lot of fun to it. Since I wear a lot of plums, burgundy, Teal and black types of colors, this cape will go with much of my wardrobe. But it is not a dark cape at all and actually has a bit of playfulness with some peach and yellow! As with the other Daria capes, it has a gorgeous weave and all the colors complement each other beautifully. I am so happy I was able to finally able to try Seine. I expect this will be on a regular rotation!
This is my second(!) Bina top. My first one was in linen, and this one is a block, print cotton. As with the other Julahas block prints, the fabric is extremely light and comfortable. It drapes nicely and will be perfect for the summer! Similarly to my first linen version, I will probably get the front neck line lowered. As this top is very thoughtfully designed to be reversible, the neckline is high on both sides. However, I expect to only wear it with the buttons (and lower hemline) in back. I’m sure with the fabulous Julahas customer service this could have been a customization if I had thought about it more ahead of time. Really a fun shirt!
I love everything about these Jamdani pants. The handwoven fabric, the colour, the fit, the fact that it has French seams and the seamless way that Customer Service arranged for customisation with fabulous results.
This is a stunning piece. It's light and airy but added a touch of warmth in the SF Bay Area changing climates. It went perfectly with my silver jade Wool& Freya and added a bit of shimmer.
Thanks so much Julahas for this amazing piece of art.
I love everything about this jacket! The reversible design with buttons on BOTH the inside and outside is such a special detail. I had a really difficult time selecting which specific jacket to buy because they’re all such unique and beautiful items. I love how the fabric is masterfully pieced together on the back to create a patchwork like pattern. This jacket feels heavy/substantial, but the fabric is breathable and which means it can be utilized in many seasons.
The stitching is amazing. The design is extremely detailed and I am amazed at all the work that went into creating this jacket. It’s a work of art!
I also found that the one size cut of this jacket is pretty generous. The website says it fits up to a L but I am more a L/XL (US size 14) and I feel like there’s still plenty of room left in the chest for me to move freely snd comfortably when buttoned.
Beautiful, colorful scarf!
This scarf goes with so many colors: red, purple fig, ochre, black and teal. Maybe more? I’ll soon find out as the weather cools here. While it is very colorful, you can also tie it (see picture), and the colors don’t stand out quite as much. I love a scarf that will go with multiple things! I saw someone showing it off (Michelle?) on the JULAHAS website, and I ordered it the next day.
This piece is so gorgeous and the craftmanship is excellent. I love that it's reversible to extend the opportunities for wear. The silk is lush, soft, and has vibrant colors. I wish I could afford ALL the things!
So soft and gorgeous! This duster has the silhouette of a kaftan and the boiled wool is so soft with a gorgeous woven pattern. It is so warm yet free in the arms, and the pockets are quite sturdy. I hope more of these are released for others to enjoy, this is just such a comfy yet elegant blanket that's been turned wearable!
I love my kimono so much - this is my first vintage stories piece! The silk outer fabrics feel cozy and warm, so this piece actually works as a transitional layer, especially over a long sleeve shirt.
I love the vibrant colors! Wore it to an exhibition opening with flared jeans anns black boots and received several compliments and inquiries about its origin. The silk makes the colors look so beautiful, and the contrast stitching adds so much character. I’m planning on wearing it reversed too, but no pictures yet.
I was a bit hesitant about the Trudis, as I already love my capes and kimonos and did not think I would need any other products. However, trying on a friend's tea trudi quickly changed my mind, and when there was a restock I knew I needed to get my own tea trudi! I really love rosehip, its a wonderful cool purple/pink, and it goes very well with my new plum Rowena.
Now I am looking at the art trudis for winter...
This wasn’t on my radar until I saw it in person at a pop-up. I’m so glad it was available to try there because boy do I love this kimono! It looks so much prettier in person than the photos. The dual color adds a shimmer that the camera can’t capture. The drape is also perfect. I’ve worn it over dresses and trousers as a coat, as a cozy layer when hanging around the house, and to add a bit of instant interest/drama to otherwise plain outfits. I love it so much that I’ve ordered another.
Wow! The cotton linen Trudi is absolutely fabulous! It is surprisingly light and airy. The lighter color of the weave make the Trudi seem to shimmer - almost like it is reflecting light. The extra design features of the edge color on the side seams and the bottom border add to the overall polished look. The new slit in the bottom side seams allow the Trudi to lay straight in back so there is no “ballooning” of extra fabric. The fact that it is reversible makes it even more attractive. This is so well done! Highly recommend.
I love art. I love Julahas. The two together in embroidery is just sublime! This duster is a great statement piece, interesting and conversation worthy, light yet sturdy. I will treasure this and style it with many wardrobe pieces from simple dresses to jeans.
This lightweight, flowy, colorful kimono is a true four-season beauty! It’s as lightweight as the fusion capes. The colors are vibrant. The one caution that because the squares are solid colors, any pulls show easily, so this is not a kimono to where in situation where it might be subject to damage. That said, I love, love, love it.
I elected to customize this new Deep Salmon into a short cape coat. Thanks to the fabulous Julahas customer service and the always amazing Talath, I now have this beautiful cape coat. This new fabric is very soft and light, even lighter than previous wool silk items I have (which are also phenomenal). It also has a gorgeous diamond, weave pattern, which brings even more interest to the fabric. Due to the softness, it has a nice easy drape as well. So very happy with this gorgeous cape coat!
This is my third block print cotton wrap top (along with two others in linen and one denim tencel) so I’m obviously a big fan! They’re lightweight and perfect to wear with casual dresses and cover arms when needed. I just wish the stock was balanced with the demand, because it’s not unusual for the larger sizes to be sold out in every fabric, while there are lots of the smaller sizes available (for reference I wear a M or L in other things and the larger size wrap top fits me perfectly, so maybe that’s true for most of us.) If you see one you like, don’t hesitate!
My 4th wool-silk kimono ❤️ Need I say more? I love the material, it's warm yet I don't overheat, it's soft yet sturdy and the drape is lovely. And of course I love the colour!
Pleasantly surprised with this shirt. I was attracted to its unique design as well as it being reversible. It goes great with leggings, jeans and straight leg trousers. While I can tuck it in, I think it may be too blousy to wear with wide leg trousers, but not sure yet. It is also long enough that I can wear a belt or even an Obi belt over it if desired. I do wish the neckline(s) were slightly lower. All in all, this is a very cute shirt!
Absolutely love the silk Trudi ponchos. They are so soft, light and airy, making them extremely comfortable to wear. Secondly, they are reversible, so you are getting a lot of versatility. Lastly, you can dress them up for an elegant evening or pair with jeans and they look equally fabulous. Highly recommend!
Such a lovely, warm later for autumn and early winter! I like to wear this as my jacket outside! It can easily be wrapped and tucked in front, similarly to the capes, for extra warmth! The borders area absolutely stunning!
Trudi Poncho Artemisia (named after the Italian artist Artemisia Gentileschi, 1593-1654) is made of wool (the same quality as the Daria capes) and has very deep and beautiful colors. The pictures do not do them justice. Maroon red, dark brown, dark green, taupe, blue-grey and dark blue, to name the most important ones. The diamond weave is very special. I had the collar and front panels customized so that they are stitched like my kimonos. A lovely garment and true piece of weaving art that will get worn a lot. Thank you!
I like the Trudi silhouette a lot. This is my first Tea Trudi (Hibiscus) in a very fine wool quality. It flows lightly, warms without being heavy. Very, very lovely. The color, a mix of a deep wine purple and a lighter pink, is very versatile. (I find it difficult to capture the colors correctly.) The weaving is exquisite. I had the collar and front panels customized so they would be stitched like my other kimonos.
This is such a gorgeous scarf. The colours are an absolute cheerful dream for me, and the structure and optics of the card are divine. I also appreciate the peace silk: The cruelty-free approach to silk definitely is commending this work. The only downside is that the beautiful structure of the scarf means that it feels much stiffer and scratchier than I had anticipated ordering a silk scarf. Otherwise, it is lightweight and folds really small. Recommended, if you can stomach the texture.
I’ve had my eye on the Jamdani cardi and pants for a while now and snapped up a cardi at the Amsterdam pop-up. The pants were sold out but there was a very unexpected bonus: there was a wrap skirt! This combo is so beautiful and the fabric is very special with the carefully woven in coloured threads. It’s thick enough to wear in chilly weather and drapes surprisingly well. I’ll be ordering the pants very soon to make a lovely little capsule wardrobe.
These belts! Truly amazing! They fit size ups and downs and can be adjusted throughout the day so easily. They stay in place and are gentle on the clothes you wear them with- no buckles to snag! Love them!
I received this Wrap Top last week, but didn’t have time to really try it. Then I was in Amsterdam for the pop up and had the chance to try others there. So today I took the time and tried it with various options. I was really pleasantly surprised when I put it on over my long sleeved Rosa from wool&, it did add a nice bit of warmth and made me realize it didn’t have to be just a spring and summer option. I’m so happy with this Linen Wrap top. It’s a fantastic addition to my wardrobe!!! 😍
To be fair, the russet is my third (and probably not last) Amber scarf, so I sort of knew what to expect...and wasnt disappointed. The cotton fabric is a bit stiff to begin with and may carry a smell, good news, you can easily wash it in the machine. Which I did, and then rolled up to dry to keep those wrinkles. Smell gone and the fabric will soften up further with use. As the scarf is huge but folds up small it easily doubles as a wrap, a shawl and in a pinch as a thin blanket. Due to the printing process, it has different sides. The russet is a lovely reddish brown or maroon red, not a true red. It complements and compliments my autumn palette well!
