Our Story

Ceremony Aesthetics for Childhood

Founded in Cardiff, Wales, in 2008, HANAKIMI began with christening gowns and a belief in the significance of childhood ceremonies.

Today, our collections extend to baby bonnets, first shoes, flower girl dresses and occasionwear, designed for the moments families choose to celebrate and remember.

We believe a ceremony is not defined by its scale, but by the meaning it holds.

A Heritage of Design, A Global Craft Network

Rooted in Cardiff, Wales, HANAKIMI brings together specialist craftsmanship from around the world.At HANAKIMI, dresses, bonnets, shoes and accessories are designed to complement one another, creating a considered look for every special moment. 

Beyond the Outfit

Through a network of workshops, we seek the skills and techniques best suited to each design, its materials and its details. From silhouette and fabric to fit and finishing, we believe refinement lies in thoughtful choices, not unnecessary embellishment.

Made Personal, Made Meaningful

Every family celebrates in its own way.

Through HANAKIMI’s personalisation services, selected styles can be adapted with choices of fabric, length, details and accessories, creating a look that reflects the occasion and the family behind it.

Considered by design. Personal by nature.

From first milestones to family celebrations, we create for the moments that become part of a childhood story.

HANAKIMI — Designed for life’s little ceremonies.
