Made from 100% cotton, Namioto masks are not only cute, but super comfortable and breathable. They’re reusable, washable, adjustable and boast traditional Japanese prints.
If you didn’t know already, east Asia has already been using mouth masks for years to help prevent the spread of airborne viruses, as well as hiding certain facial features (pimples, coldsores, etc), and also to relieve social anxiety for introverts (it’s easy to hide behind a mask!). They have become such a staple in everyday life that more and more people are starting to coordinate their masks with their outfits, which we love! In Japan, many people buy Namioto masks to coordinate with their kimonos or yukatas.
Did you know? Namioto means ‘the sound of the waves’. Namioto originally started as a children’s accessories brand, so their inspiration for choosing the name ‘Namioto’ was to infinitely put smiles on children’s faces, just as the waves infinitely wash up on the shore. Isn’t that lovely?
Namioto masks come in many basic, simple-to-coordinate colours, as well as gorgeous traditional Japanese design. So, no matter what you're wearing, you can find a Namioto mask to match.
Masks can be machine-washed and ironed, but make sure not to put them in the dryer – they’ll shrink! They also come with a handy pocket for filters for extra protection. Don’t forget to remove the filter before you put them in the washer.
There are two sizes - medium (18.5 x 11.5 cm) and large (21 x 13 cm) and both are available at all Oomomo stores across Canada.
