Collection: Peony Dream

The Japanese peony, celebrated for its vibrant blooms and timeless elegance, has been revered in Japan for centuries as a symbol of prosperity, honour, and courage. Brought to Japan from China during the Nara period, it quickly became a beloved part of Japanese culture, often depicted in traditional art and kimono designs. Beyond its beauty, the peony came to symbolise resilience, thriving even in harsh conditions, a reminder of the power to grow and flourish through adversity.

For Shio To Hikari—which means “Salt and Light”—the Japanese peony carries profound meaning. The brand is inspired by the peony’s symbolism of love and courage, reflecting its mission to empower individuals through fashion that embodies both grace and strength. Just as salt preserves and light illuminates, Shio To Hikari aims to create clothing that enhances personal style while championing sustainability and ethics. The peony’s delicate yet bold nature mirrors the brand’s philosophy of crafting beautiful, enduring pieces that stand for something greater—fashion with purpose, style with substance, and design that shines a light on ethical, sustainable choices.
