Join in Japantown Jingle! December 18 - 24

The Kurisumasu Kountdown is here, so jump to it with Japantown Jingle! Our little corner of the International District has everything to make the 11th Hour fun, festive and most important, stress-free.


You’ll find unique boutiques to tie up your gift giving, sips and sustenance for a welcome respite, and galleries and grooming to refresh the body and soul. Ask about specials and discounts at participating businesses, like Momo is offering complimentary wrapping, and Kaname holds a kick-butt happy hour. 



To make the season even brighter, at Momo, we’re handing out a Kidrobot Happy Holiday Labbit with every purchase of $50 or more. These cute critters are a shop favorite, and make a hilarious stocking stuffer or Secret Santa gift. Kawaii, neh!


Check out our historic neighborhood and add a little Asian persuasion to your holidays. Shop, Eat, Meet, & Mingle in Seattle’s best one-stop block — JAPANTOWN!

Each Zuri dress is made from a limited run of colorful and playful patterns. Printed on Dutch wax fabric, they are durable, wrinkle-resistant and machine washable. Flattering on every body type, they can be worn three ways: as a dress, an open jacket, or as a skirt! Plus ... you guessed it — they have pockets. You can see why their motto is “Just One Dress.”

Sustainably and ethically made in Kenya by a collective whose focus is on women's empowerment, you can feel good  when you treat yourself to a dress (or three). Learn more about this global brand at https://www.shopzuri.com/

Founders Sandra Zhao and Ashleigh Gersh Miller

Sublimely versatile, Zuri is travel worthy, too. Pop it over a slip dress or a top and pants and wear it open as a light jacket.








To wear it as a skirt, unbutton the top buttons, shimmy the dress down to your waist, fold the collar to the inside, tie the sleeves into a big ‘bow.’ Ta-da!

To belt or not to belt? That is your prerogative. 

Everyone loves Zuri! Local luminary Claudia Castro Luna,
Washington’s Poet Laureate, wears hers over a tailored shirt. 

More on kimber elements ... the jewelry is designed and produced in partnership with 25 Maasai women artisans who are members of the Oldoinyo Oibor Amboseli Women’s Group in Kimana Village, located at the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro. Traditionally worn by Maasai women and men, these pieces are a symbol of their culture and traditions. 

Your purchase empowers this women’s group to promote their craft, and give voice and visibility to the artisans. The women collectively decided that the proceeds from this project will finance their purchase of beehives to make honey as another source of income. Honey money!
