Saki-ami Flower Basket Tokimeki | Vintage Hydrangea

Embracing the gentle translucence of organza and its harmonious interplay with light, this piece is intricately woven with an abundance of air. My design philosophy centers on fashion that harmonizes with nature. I envisioned a bag that felt as if you were carrying hydrangeas themselves, so I recreated the nuanced colors of vintage hydrangeas. Please enjoy the hydrangeas as they transition through the autumn hues. Neither too large nor too small, not too flashy nor too simple – it strikes a perfect medium in every aspect. You can enjoy it in various ways: as a handheld basket, over the shoulder, or crossbody. A 120cm strap is included. All metal fittings are securely fastened with the fabric itself. Crafted with Care Over 10 meters of organza are used for each bag. The process begins with carefully tearing the fabric into strips. From the basket, floral blooms of "Saki-ami" (blooming weave) erupt in a vibrant display. This is why I named it "Saki-ami" (blooming weave) rather than "Saki-ami" (tearing weave). A detachable shoulder strap is included. You can swing it around freely or carry it gently, as if embracing it. Though not pictured, a matching organza inner bag is included. Made with Love Crafted entirely from organza, including the stitching, this bag is exceptionally lightweight and won't hinder your movements. Its tight weave ensures it won't unravel or lose its volume, even if caught in the rain or jostled during outings! It can also be hand-washed if it gets dirty. [Colors] Purple, Pink Purple, Sand Beige, Dark Beige, Terracotta, Moss Green, Pale Pink [Size] Maximum diameter 25cm Height 25cm (excluding handle) Strap 120cm (including fittings) [Material] Organza Material Focus The fluffy "Saki-ami" texture is born from organza. Organza is a thin, light, and crisp woven fabric with a stiff texture. It allows light to pass through, creating a unique soft atmosphere and an elegant translucence that evokes a sense of transparency, characterized by its distinctive sheen and resilience. After experimenting with various fabrics, chiko uses polyester organza for its superior strength and consistent quality.

Feel confident stepping out for your adventures! Care Instructions for "Saki-ami" Products As these items are made by tearing fabric, some fraying is natural. While loose fibers may shed initially, they will settle with use, becoming less prone to shedding as the texture becomes more familiar. If dirt becomes a concern, gently press and wash the item. Drying it naturally will restore its original volume!
