Each petal is rendered in vivid hues of red, yellow, purple, and orange, capturing the joyful spirit of both East and West within one timeless piece of wearable art. 🌸 Why It’s Special • 100% silk fukuro obi — upcycled from a ceremonial kimono sash woven with delicate silk threads. • Features an expressive floral pattern blending Japanese and Western aesthetics — symbolizing harmony, vitality, and beauty beyond borders. • The rich color palette and soft luster of the silk create a lively yet refined impression. • Truly one-of-a-kind — each piece is handcrafted from an antique obi, ensuring no two are ever alike. 📏 Dimensions Height: 19 cm (7.5”) Width (top): 29 cm (11.4”) Width (bottom): 26 cm (10.2”) Depth: 3 cm (1.2”) 🧵 Materials • Outer: Vintage fukuro obi (100% silk with metallic threads) • Strap: Gold-tone chain • Lining: Coordinated inner fabric • Structure: Firm interfacing for shape retention • Closure: Magnetic snap • Tag: Premium Japanese leather, color-matched to the design 🤫 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 While the obi is carefully selected from well-preserved vintage stock, slight age marks may remain. These are embraced as part of the textile’s story and authenticity. There is a small stain on the bottom part, originally from the vintage obi fabric.
