That was the current theme in kimono and yukata choices in November. Each month we provide a list of the Best Selling Kimono and Yukata. It\u2019s a fun way to sit back and reflect on current kimono trends based purely on what our customers like and are buying at the moment.<\/p>\n<p>While the trend is sometimes clear, such as a surge in short length kimono or Happi Coats for the warm summer months. Around Mother\u2019s Day, floral kimonos are popular especially the pink cherry blossom yukata. In June, dragon themed kimono seem to be popular graduation gifts for men, while birds and soft flower designs round out graduation gifts for the ladies.<\/p>\n<p>No matter what the season of gift giving occasion, Japanese kimono and yukata are always first on our list of gift ideas. Comfortable to wear, beautiful to look at, wardrobe versatility and elegant, yet distinctive. What more could you ask for? We fell in love with the Japanese kimono thirty years ago and decided to set up our online kimono shop so others could experience what we did. Chopa wanted to allow customers everywhere to see the beauty and history that is still as popular today as it was hundreds of years ago.\u00a0 There is a reason the kimono is the universal symbol of beauty in Japanese culture. Kimono Yukata stand alone when it comes to fashion forward.<\/p>\n<p>In November, sales picked up steam as expected as the holidays and Christmas gift giving season approaches. It\u2019s a tradition in our warehouse to decorate with some garland, lights and even a tree or two. We use artificial trees in our warehouse for fire safety. Plus, we dislike the idea of growing a tree just to cut it down for a few weeks of enjoyment. Please don\u2019t label us Scrooge. Some of our staff use real trees at home, but as costs have risen so much in the past decade that more have turned to reusable, renewable trees. It&#8217;s a national trend.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a real treat to walk into the warehouse and play Santa\u2019s Elves. With festive lights and decorations surrounding our packaging and shipping stations, it&#8217;s beginning to look a lot like Christmas. Music is softly playing in the background and time flies by as we prepare, pack and ship your packages. Time has become important as we tick down to just less than three weeks to go before December 25<sup>th<\/sup>.\u00a0 We will be posting recommended cut off dates shortly to help you with your gift giving if you are shipping packages.\u00a0 Whether you order gifts online or ship them yourselves, we are getting closer to crunch time to get those presents to their destination on time.<\/p>\n<p>As we get closer to the big day, we will switch most of our orders over to FedEx in lieu of USPS. USPS does a fantastic job throughout the year delivering cards, letter and packages. But we understand from local employees that retail packages take a back seat at this time of the year to their biggest and most heavily postage subsidized customer, Amazon.\u00a0 Some customers have asked us why Chopa doesn\u2019t sell on Amazon and one of the reasons is they allow businesses that use slave labor to sell on their platform. We won\u2019t get into all of the other quirks that the software giant imposes on sellers. We certainly miss out on additional sales by not being on Amazon. But we sleep well at night knowing we march to our own drummer and make decisions that we feel benefit our customers, rather than generate returns for stockholders.<\/p>\n<p>Without further delay, here are the <strong>Top 5 Selling Kimono and Yukata for November<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Yukata \u2013 Dragon and Hawk<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Yukata \u2013 Tree of Life<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Yukata \u2013 Dragon and Mt.
