100% Silk Kimono Obi Tote Bag | Artisan Embroidered Japanese

A vivid orange ran-giku chrysanthemum sweeps across a luminous silver ground, creating a bright yet elegant floral composition that catches the light beautifully. With its clean structured silhouette and fresh color contrast, the bag pairs beautifully with classic, elegant, and polished casual styling, especially from summer into autumn. 🌸 Why It’s Special • Coordinated obijime handles – The handles are made from vintage obijime, carefully color-matched to the orange tones of the chrysanthemum motif. • Thoughtful interior detail – The inner pocket is made from silk obi lining from another obi, chosen to harmonize with the bag’s warm orange palette. • Functional craftsmanship – Handcrafted by a Japanese artisan with nearly 30 years of experience, with careful attention to structure, balance, and finish. • Distinctive by nature – Each bag is cut from a different section of a vintage obi and paired with vintage obijime, making every piece one of a kind. 📏 Dimensions Height: 21 cm (8.3”) Width (top): 29 cm (11.42”) Width (bottom): 19 cm (7.48”) Depth: 10 cm (3.9”) 🧵 Materials • Outer: Vintage fukuro obi (100% silk with metallic threads) • Handles: Unused vintage obijime cords (100% silk) • Lining: Coordinated inner fabric • Structure: Full firm interfacing throughout • Base: Inserted board for extra stability • Closure: Magnetic snap closure • Inner pocket: 1 compartment sized for phones or cards • Tag: Individually color-matched from nearly 100 shades of premium Japanese leather, then hand-branded one by one 🤫 Behind the Craft Each bag is created by a cross-generational team: • Ayako (40+ yrs as a couture sample seamstress) leads the making • Yuuko (trained in kimono and luxury fur tailoring) advises on fabric handling • Ayuko (brand founder, former corporate consultant) designs each piece, translating Japan’s tacit artisanal knowledge into structured modernity We collaborate with trusted workshops to ensure both small-batch uniqueness and scalable quality. ⚠️ Note ・As this piece is made from carefully selected vintage obi and obijime, age-related marks or slight discoloration may remain — these are embraced as part of the textile’s story and authenticity. ・Photos are taken with a Nikon DSLR in natural daylight (no flash).
