KIM+ONO
KIM+ONO is a Chinatown flagship at 729 Grant Avenue for handcrafted silk and washable-silk kimono robes designed by sisters Renee and Tiffany Tam, who opened the airy boutique in 2018 after growing up in their family’s nearby retail. Original botanical and bird prints draw on Chinese brushwork; handpainted silk pieces are marketed as multi-day studio work, while the washable-silk line is the practical everyday lane. Published price bands for simpler styles have sat near the low hundreds, with premium silk higher; confirm current stock and sizing on kimandono.com before you treat the store as a souvenir stop. Hours have recently run roughly late morning into early evening, with Friday–Saturday later closes; verify the day you go. For diaspora travelers, it is a living Grant Avenue fashion address rather than a costume shop: robes that layer over jeans or evening separates without requiring a red-carpet brief.

While you're there
Grant Avenue puts you inside Chinatown’s main tourist spine; Stockton Street one block west is the denser everyday market strip if you want groceries and bakeries after the boutique. Powell Street BART is about a ten-minute walk south if you are coming from downtown hotels. Keep Modern Appealing Clothing in Hayes Valley for a separate avant-garde retail hour rather than forcing both into one loop.
Pro Tip: Try washable silk against handpainted silk under the boutique’s daylight before you commit; tourist-street glare outside will flatter neither fabric the same way.
