Large 100% Silk Kimono Obi Crossbody Bag | One-of-a-Kind Japanese Purse

A dramatic violet rangiku—a flowing chrysanthemum motif—unfolds across a luminous silver ground with softly layered lavender and metallic-toned leaves. The sweeping petals and tonal gradation of purple give the textile a bold, almost sculptural presence, while the cool silver ground keeps the overall impression refined and elegant. Its rich color and clean structure allow it to move naturally between modern, fashion-forward styling and more classic looks. 🌸 Why It’s Special • One of a kind — Each bag is designed around the scale and placement of the original obi pattern, so the exact composition will never be repeated. • Silk-finished interior — The inner face of the flap is made from a lustrous purple satin section of the same 100% silk obi face fabric, while the bag lining uses the obi’s purple silk reverse-side fabric. • Shoulder and crossbody wear — The adjustable strap extends from approximately 78 to 140 cm. • Experienced Japanese craftsmanship — Handcrafted by a Japanese bag artisan with nearly 30 years of experience. The D-ring attachments are reinforced for greater stability when worn over the shoulder or across the body. 📏 Dimensions Height: approximately 22 cm / 8.7 in Width at top: approximately 36 cm / 14.2 in Width at base: approximately 24 cm / 9.4 in Depth: approximately 12 cm / 4.7 in Adjustable strap length: approximately 78–140 cm / 30.7–55.1 in Measurements are approximate and may vary slightly due to the handcrafted construction. 🧵 Materials and Construction • Outer: Vintage silk fukuro obi woven with metallic threads • Inner face of flap: Lustrous purple satin section of the 100% silk face fabric from the same obi • Lining: Purple silk reverse-side fabric from the same obi • Strap: Adjustable purple shoulder and crossbody strap • Structure: Firm interfacing for shape retention • Closure: Magnetic snap beneath the flap • Interior: One pocket divided into two compartments • Tag: Premium Japanese leather selected to complement the design 🤫 Behind the Craft AYUKO TOKYO’s work is informed by three generations of knowledge in Japanese textiles, dressmaking, and couture construction. • Ayako, with more than 40 years of experience as a couture sample seamstress, contributes extensive knowledge of fine sewing and garment construction. • Yuuko, trained in kimono and luxury fur tailoring, advises on the careful handling of delicate vintage textiles. • Ayuko, brand founder and former corporate consultant, develops each design by translating Japan’s tacit artisanal knowledge into structured contemporary forms.
