Anzi's Select Picks [Kyoto Artisan Custom Clasp Bag] #Black Cat Series Pouch M 》 Each style and batch is extremely limited in stock. During a spring cherry blossom trip to Kyoto, I encountered many wonderful people and things. It not only allowed me to re-experience the joy of living well but also witness the ancient capital's emphasis and creativity in traditional culture and craftsmanship. What captivated me at first sight was this clasp bag, personally crafted by a Kyoto kimono artisan. ◾️Product Description I've always been enchanted by clasp bags. The satisfyingly crisp 'click' sound every time it opens and closes, and the elegant, chic aura exuded when holding one, clasp bags are practically designed to make one perfect (weapon). Teacher Nakamura, a bit shy yet exceptionally graceful, has retired from the ranks of kimono artisans. With his superb vision and skill, he selects exquisite kimono fabrics to create these one-of-a-kind clasp bag designs. - ◾️The [Black Cat Series], inspired by beloved cats: Teacher Nakamura is meticulous about the materials used for his clasp bags. He specially selects 100% 'Tango Chirimen' premium kimono silk for the bag's exterior, dyed in black. The golden lines are meticulously hand-applied with gold leaf, stroke by stroke. The lining varies with each batch. (This level of detail is driving me and the teacher crazy...) The playful, lively eyes, paired with the classic, elegant bag shape, will win you over, whether you're a cat lover or not. ------ The spirit of lifelong dedication is fully evident in the details and material selection of his work. For instance, his insistence on using natural pure silk sets his clasp bags apart from the artificial fibers or cotton ones found elsewhere. Even accessories should be scrutinized like luxury goods. The teacher advised, 'Use it gently, and the texture will become softer over time.' Ah, Kyoto residents truly use the finest things~ No wonder they take pride in themselves. Such a treasure genuinely moved me to want it as part of 'Dear Anzi's' selections. I mustered the courage to negotiate with Teacher Nakamura multiple times, and I'm grateful he agreed and specially made a batch for Anzi before my return. Compared to the myriad of clasp bags out there, these are understated. Yet, they possess a subtle, inner radiance that, upon seeing them in person, elicits involuntary admiration! The exquisite choice of materials and clasps truly shines. Using it further reveals its true value. Each opening and closing carries an elegant charm that grows more endearing with time. If you have the chance to own one, you'll understand the value Kyoto artisans aim to convey. ------------------------ Material: Exterior 100% Pure Silk (Tango Chirimen) Manufacturing: Custom handmade by Kyoto artisan Specifications (excluding clasp): Black Cat Series comes in four sizes: This is the M size, W15 x H10.5cm M Pouch is suitable for: Cash, coins, credit cards, business cards, lipstick, lip balm, keys, and other essential small items for going out... ------------------------ If you like a particular style, please act quickly.
