Anko's Selects [Kyoto Artisan Handmade Custom Clasp Purses] #Black Cat Series Cat Paw Mimi Bag - The cat paw motif symbolizes moving forward~ and can also attract wealth. 》 Each piece and batch is a limited edition. During my spring trip to Kyoto amidst the cherry blossoms, I encountered many beautiful people and things. It not only allowed me to re-experience the essence of living beautifully but also to witness the ancient capital's deep respect for and creative approach to traditional culture and craftsmanship. Among them, what captured my heart at first sight was this clasp purse, personally crafted by Kyoto kimono artisans. ◾️ Product Description I've always been captivated by clasp purses. The crisp, satisfying click of opening and closing, and the elegant, sophisticated aura they exude when held, clasp purses are simply the perfect accessory (or weapon!) for achieving an impeccable look. Mr. Nakamura, a somewhat shy yet impeccably refined craftsman, has retired from the ranks of kimono artisans. With his exceptional eye and skill, he selects exquisite kimono fabrics to create these one-of-a-kind clasp purses. - ◾️The [Black Cat Series], inspired by his beloved cats: Mr. Nakamura is exceptionally meticulous about the materials used for his clasp purses. He specially selects 100% "Tango Chirimen" premium kimono silk for the purse's exterior, dyed black. The golden lines are meticulously applied, one by one, by hand with gold leaf. The interior lining varies with each batch. (This level of dedication is almost driving myself and the artisan crazy...) The playful, lively eyes, paired with the classic, elegant silhouette, will win anyone over, whether you're a devoted 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 immediately sets his clasp purses apart from those made with synthetic fibers or cotton fabric found elsewhere. Even accessories should withstand scrutiny like fine jewelry. The artisan kindly advises, "Use it gently, and the texture will become even softer over time." Honestly, Kyoto residents truly appreciate fine quality~ No wonder they take such pride in their city. Such a masterpiece genuinely inspired me to consider it for "Anko's Selects." Gathering my courage, I negotiated with Mr. Nakamura multiple times. I am grateful that he agreed and specially crafted a batch for Anko before my return. Compared to the myriad of other clasp purses on the market, these are understated. Yet, they possess a subtle, inner radiance that elicits admiration upon seeing them in person! The exquisite attention to material and clasp selection truly shines. You'll understand the depth of its quality after using it. Each opening and closing carries an air of elegance, and the more you look, the more you adore it. If you have the opportunity to own one, you'll grasp the value that Kyoto artisans strive to convey. ------------------------ Material: Exterior 100% Pure Silk (Tango Chirimen) Crafted by: Kyoto Artisan, Handmade Custom Order Specifications (all dimensions exclude clasp): The Black Cat Series comes in four sizes: This is the M size, W15 x H10.5cm.
