Mother’s Day is in the Bag with Mom-O to Go

Happy Mother’s Day! Momo sends big love to all moms, those who have mothered another, and anyone who nurtures and inspires you.

And for Seattle-ites, it’s not too late for Mother’s Day Momo to Go (MtG), easy peasy with our unique Kimono Kits. Pick from two sets of Japanese kimono silk pouches filled with little luxuries — ‘Deluxe’ with five products or ‘Essentials’ with three products (so sorry, Essentials set is sold out, see Deluxe kit for update). For delivery, I can pop in the mail, drive within five miles for $5, or you’re welcome to fly by for pre-arranged pick up.

Kimono Kit Deluxe: Cosmetics pouch
with five pampering products; $100.

Kimono Kit Deluxe; $100. Includes a roomy gusseted pouch filled with a full-size soap, Italian toothpaste, Japanese moisturizer and lip balm, and solid perfume. This bag is perfect for cosmetics, lotion and other everyday necessities. Update: Since the Essentials Set is sold out, you are welcome to purchase the Deluxe pouch ($47) and pick whatever you’d like to put inside to make your own kit, cost will vary according to what you choose. 

Kimono Kit Essentials: Flat Pouch with three treats; $60. 

Kimono Kit Essentials; $60. Tucked into a slim, flat pouch you’ll find a full-size soap, Italian toothpaste and Japanese moisturizer. This pocket is ideal for phone cords, notepads and other small items. Update: This flat pouch is sold out. 

How does it work? It’s simple as 1-2-3! 

1. Pick Your Pouch. Our vintage kimono silk pouches are hand sewn by Portland textile artist Katherine Ragghianti. Lightweight, zippered and lined in plastic, they’re smart for travel.

Kimono Kit Deluxe pouches: Starting at top left and going clockwise, state color(s) and 1-2-3-4-5-6. Please give first and second choice. I have more (similar) options on hand, too. Dimensions: 7" wide x 5" tall x 2" deep. Update: front left pouch is reserved for Jiawen!



Kimono Kit Essentials pouches: Starting at the top left and moving clockwise, state 1-2-3-4. Please give a first and second choice. Dimensions: 9" wide x 6" tall x 3/8" deep. Update: Essentials flat pouch is sold out, you are welcome to substitute the Deluxe pouch for $82 total. 2. Pick Your Soap, Moisturizer and Toothpaste.

Formulary 55 Bath Bars

Formulary 55 shea butter soap is hand made in Pueblo, Colorado by a duo of once-residents of Seattle. Try it and you’ll fall in love with the creaminess and divine fragrance. Bath bar lasts through many a lather at 6 oz. Apiary No. 55 is Milk & Honey.

Yu-Be super moisturizer. 

Yu-Be moisturizing face and body cream helps you say sayonara to dry skin. Invented in 1957, this non-comedogenic, glycerin-based concentrate from Japan is a proven winner. Original formula in orange box has a bit of a camphor scent, Advanced Formula in green contains chamomile extract.

Marvis Italian toothpaste.

Marvis Italian toothpaste will turn your daily ritual into a dental delight. It leaves your mouth clean and fresh without an aftertaste, and doesn’t contain flouride (a good thing as I’m allergic). Choose from Classic Mint, Whitening (voted one of the best whitening toothpastes by Allure Magazine, or exotic Jasmine Mint. 

3. Pick Your Fragrance. For Kimono Kit Deluxe, choose from six scents from Portland’s Sweet Anthem, thoughtfully made of soy wax, organic shea butter and essential oils.
Freyja: Warm amber, comforting tonka bean and traquil blueberry.
Juliet: Jasmine sambac flowers, orange blossoms and pink pepper.
Annabelle: Sweltering jasmine, Osmanthus and sea spray.
Elliott: Pinyon pine, labdanum and tonka bean.
Anton: Apple, wasabi, sandalwood and cedar.
Colin: Cardamom, saffron, mahogany and fig.

Sweet Anthem Solid Perfume includes unisex fragrances.
