Shoulder Bag / Crossbody Bag / Gamakuchi Bag / Golden Brocade Full Cherry Crossbody Gamakuchi Bag

Cherry blossoms bloom for just one season; true love comes only once. "Fresh and elegant" feels insufficient to fully capture the beauty of this golden brocade fabric. If a fitting description were needed, it would be akin to Maggie Cheung's portrayal of Su Lizhen in "In the Mood for Love." In the film, Maggie Cheung perfectly embodied the qipaos of the Republican era, evoking a sense of a free and romantic heart dwelling within the constraints of societal norms. This creation from Gamakuchi Workshop, with its color palette and intricate embroidery, is consistently stunning and unforgettable. Once you've witnessed this beauty, you can't go back.

Fabrics woven with gold thread are called "kinji kinran," known as "zhijin" in China. Fabrics that use silver thread instead of gold thread are called "ginran." The production of golden brocade can be traced back to the Song Dynasty in China. In Japan, it was formally adopted as a domestic weaving technique after being introduced from Ming Dynasty China during the Tensei era (1573-1592), with Kyoto's Nishijin-ori being its representative. Golden brocade is a type of luxurious and ornate textile, holding the most esteemed position among "meibutsu-gire" (famous antique textiles) and favored by tea masters, samurai, and the aristocracy. ■ Shopping Guide ■ Please read the following carefully before placing an order (especially if you are a perfectionist): We do not accept returns or exchanges for the following reasons: 1.
