Our Story

Hi I’m Kyle the creator of Radiant Robes! I created this brand to bring funky and embellished kimonos to the festival scene ✨ At my first Lightning in a Bottle in 2018 I was looking for a cool kimono, and not seeing quite what I was looking for. I feel like many great ideas come from not finding something you’re looking for and deciding to make it yourself! Being a fashion merchandising graduate and a passionate festival goer I felt as though I could add something unique and fun to the festival fashion scene, and further the slow fashion movement with hand making our garments. I went on a retreat in Bali in 2020, called Uncover and Activate, wrote out my business plan and sourced Balinese fabrics for my first collection. Covid had literally started on the eastern side as I was flying back from my retreat, and when I landed back in states, my sales job that I currently had was put on hold due to the pandemic. It felt like divine intervention and I started making kimonos out of my house, and that’s how Radiant Robes was born! It has become so much more than I ever dreamed of, to offering more styles, building a team, getting to travel to amazing places and meet amazing people. Thank you for being on this journey with me and being a part of our Radiant Tribe.
