What is Asiatica?
We are a unique retail store located in Kansas City. In our shop we make one-of-a-kind garments from vintage Japanese kimono, contemporary artisanal fabrics from Japan and other luxurious textiles. We also offer a carefully chosen selection of scarves, shawls and jewelry as well as an exceptional collection of antique and modern objects, mostly from Japan.
