Luxury brand House of Tengri has partnered with Gownsmith, a renowned luxury loungewear brand, to unveil a highly anticipated collection of limited edition Yukata gowns. Developed over a span of five years, these exquisite gowns are crafted from the rare fibres of the Khangai Yak, showcasing the House of Tengri’s unwavering dedication to sustainable practices. Embedded with the brand’s core values of rarity, craftsmanship, heritage, and functionality, this collaboration with Gownsmith truly exemplifies their commitment to excellence.
Leading the charge in this collaboration is Nancy Johnston, the visionary founder and Creative Director of House of Tengri. Her unwavering determination to create the ultimate multifunctional gown fueled this partnership. Striving to design a garment that combines the comfort of a robe or coat with a gender-neutral aesthetic, Johnston drew inspiration from various Asian influences, particularly the versatility of gowns and robes. By incorporating design elements inspired by the Japanese Haori coat, she successfully transformed them into a contemporary luxury wardrobe staple.
The highly anticipated Yukata series showcases Tengri’s signature undyed cloths, influenced by the captivating mineral-rich palette found in Mongolia’s Khangai terrain. The initial series kicks off with the limited edition Yukata I, boasting the ‘Rare Earth’ hopsack fabric variant, available in a mere five pieces. The collection also encompasses the Yukata II in ‘Cocoa’ hopsack, Yukata III featuring ‘Camel’ flannel, and the Yukata IV crafted from a herringbone blend of Khangai Yak and the elusive fibres of British Bluefaced Leicester. Each garment is meticulously adorned with blue piping, paying homage to Mongolia’s revered Sky God, Tengri.
The exquisite Yukata series offers an array of opulent options, with prices starting from £1,250. With their meticulous craftsmanship, employment of rare fibers, and unwavering commitment to sustainable practices, this collaboration between House of Tengri and Gownsmith not only celebrates artistic expression but also ensures functionality. These awe-inspiring gowns are not only visually stunning but are also carefully designed to be versatile and suitable for both men and women, establishing them as an essential addition to any luxury wardrobe.
