Kaede Kimonos Sales and Rental

I visited basically to keep my bags while I saw NY on foot. It's located on the fourteenth floor but there is no problem finding it if you can find the building. The person was very friendly and helpful and provided assistance. It's not far from 33rd Street PATH station. So walking in is easy. I walked from here to the intrepid museum and came back walking

I used the Bounce Packages service to receive my deliveries, but today the establishment was closed for the whole day and I can't collect my order, I'm very upset about this, I couldn't contact us by phone, I don't know what to do.

They actually offer storage for luggage as well as sales and rental. Just what we needed. Easy to set up the storage and pay the fee. Friendly staff.

I rented out of the furisode and taking pictures at home. That was a good experience.

I visited one of the saturday sales and it was great! Everyone was super nice and informative. They have this really sweet doggo there that definatly worth the visit. I got 2 kimonos whilst I was there and they're super high quality. I would highly recommend getting your kimonos here!

To be honest, I do not know much about kimono before. But I happened to see KaedeNYC's booth at Japan Block Fair and I got one vintage kimono and obi there. The items are fabulous and their stylist was so kind by helping me dressing up. I am so glad to meet KaedeNYC and I really like their things!

Ray and company are a dedicated group of professionals! They have a great collection of kimonos and high quality digital technology to capture your asian experience!

Tiny boutique with truly beautiful fabrics & kimonos, some other items. See website for a larger array of kimonos & services.

We really wanted to love this place but unfortunately had a very negative experience in regards to customer service that we simply can't ignore. We rented bridal outfits for our anniversary photos and the day before the shoot Kaede contacted us to let us know they wanted us to sign an agreement for 4k in case the outfits got damaged. We had even proposed ourselves to come right after photos to return the outfits (even tho we had more photos scheduled in the evening). This tactic a day before something scheduled months in advance was very low. The fact that they tried to price gauge us last minute and in turn ruined our photoshoot (we had to cancel the whole thing and lost an incredible amount of money because of this) in the end the thing that made me the sadest was that our anniversary photos were not possible thanks to these people that instead of offering us alternatives just tried to milk us for more money last minute knowing our situation(they expected that we would agree in desperation). I do not recommend and will never do business with them again.

I was hunting around for obis and koshi-himo for this past weekend's Sakura Matsuri, and I thought I hit the jackpot with Kaede NYC. Akiko was very pleasant on the phone, but something must have gotten lost in translation since I specifically stated that I needed to BUY koshi-himo and obis, but when I went to her location, everything was for rent only. The obis were also this strange rubbery/foam fabric and had the clip on bows on them, so if you are looking for "real" obis, this is probably not the place for you. She has quite the hopping Etsy page https://www.etsy.com/shop/kaedenyc and that will honestly be more than adequate for the average yukata wearer. Her "store" is a shared office space in Herald Square (a bit difficult to locate since the signage on the door doesn't indicate Kaede NYC) and I don't think she normally has customers go there. Basically, if you are looking for an inexpensive and easy to wear yukata set, you found it. If you are looking for higher quality items that take more time to put on, Kimono House will probably be a better bet. She also offers "how to put on yukata" classes for the yukata newbie as well :)

I heard about a sale that Kaede NYC was holding through social media. Since I was in the city for that day, I stopped by to see what was available. The location is an office space, so it is possible to get confused upon entering; it doesn't seem like a place selling traditional Japanese attire. Don't judge by appearances though, they had a table stacked with yukata, kimono, and obi...as well as a small assortment of accessories. Some of the items were vintage and on sale for incredibly good prices. The employees were a great help. They spoke English, though one could tell they are more at ease speaking Japanese. This did not harm my experience at all. When shopping anywhere, you have to help the employees help you in order the get the best experience. If you are in a rush, maybe you'll feel inconvenienced, but I greatly enjoyed my time here. The employees explained the differences between fabrics, suggested color coordinations, and even suited me up in a kimono without my asking. They were really looking out for my satisfaction asa customer as opposed to making a profit. From my understanding and impression, Kaede NYC focuses on the fashion community that enjoy the traditional clothing, and are aiming to create an identity for themselves amongst kimono enthusiasts. By following their social media, you should easily pick up dates for special sales, meet-ups, and the like.

Were extremely helpful for renting Kimonos for my short film! Have a wide range of options, colors, and designs when it comes to kimonos and obis. Very knowledgable about clothing customs in Feudal Japan which allowed me to have characters wearing the most accurate attire.
