One-of-a-Kind Silk Kimono Obi Bag / Zipper /Tsujigahana

This one-of-a-kind handmade shoulder bag is carefully crafted by upcycling a traditional vintage Japanese kimono obi (sash). The obi used in this piece features Tsujigahana, a traditional Japanese dyeing and decorative technique. Tsujigahana flourished from the Muromachi to Momoyama periods and is known for its highly artistic and dreamlike beauty, combining tie-dye techniques with hand painting, embroidery, and gold leaf accents. Its graceful motifs, inspired by natural flowers and plants, symbolize refined elegance and represent a uniquely Japanese sense of aesthetics that continues to be admired today. The bag features a rich blue-green and gold color palette, enhanced by the subtle shimmer of gold threads, highlighting the graceful elegance characteristic of Tsujigahana designs. Designed with a secure zipper closure, it helps prevent items from falling out, making it suitable for everyday use, travel, and special outings. This versatile bag pairs beautifully with both Western and Japanese styles, offering a refined, modern-Japanese look. ⸻ ✨ Features • Upcycled from a vintage Japanese kimono obi • Features traditional Tsujigahana motifs reflecting Japanese heritage • Elegant sheen created by beautifully woven gold threads • Secure zipper closure for added peace of mind • Shoulder / crossbody style for comfortable wear • Adjustable shoulder strap • Handmade, one-of-a-kind piece ⸻ 📐 Approximate Size • Top width: approx. 29 cm / 11.4 in • Bottom width: approx. 21 cm / 8.3 in • Height: approx. 23 cm / 9.1 in • Depth (gusset): approx. 8 cm / 3.1 in • Adjustable shoulder strap length: approx. 55–100 cm / 21.7–39.4 in ⸻ ⚠️ Please Note • This bag is made from vintage obi fabric, so slight signs of age, texture variations, or natural wear may be present.
