Exquisite New Year Gift*Grass Green/Coin Purse S Kyoto Artisan【Premium Kimono Tsumugi】Coin Purse in Mint Green

This Kyoto trip was filled with wonderful encounters. It not only reminded me of the joy of living well but also showcased the ancient capital's deep respect for and creativity in traditional culture and craftsmanship. What captured my heart at first sight were the coin purses, handcrafted by a kimono artisan. Mr. Nakamura, a shy yet elegant craftsman, has retired from making kimonos but continues to design coin purses using the kimono fabrics he’s cherished his entire life. ◾️【Premium Kimono Tsumugi Series】 The dedication of a lifetime's craftsmanship is evident in every detail and material selection. This piece features Kyoto's exquisite "Kanoko Shibori" hand-dyed tie-dyeing. Named for its resemblance to a fawn's spots, the manual dyeing process is intricate and refined, resulting in a truly unique color and pattern for each piece. Consequently, these items are exceptionally rare and should be cherished as a once-in-a-lifetime treasure. Mr. Nakamura's coin purses stand leagues apart from those made of synthetic fibers or cotton found elsewhere. Even accessories should be scrutinized like fine jewelry. He shared, "Treat it gently; the texture will become even softer with time." We must say, people in Kyoto truly appreciate quality! It's no wonder they take such pride in their city. We're grateful that Mr. Nakamura kindly agreed to craft a special batch for us. To be honest, compared to the wide variety of coin purses out there, the initial price might seem a bit steep. At first, I was drawn solely by its beauty, not paying much mind to the premium kimono fabric or the finely crafted clasp, which I took for granted. But after receiving and using it, I truly understood its value. With every opening and closing, I can't help but marvel, and my admiration grows the more I look at it. If you have the chance to own one, you'll understand what an artistic coin purse truly is – it will make you want to collect them all! ------------------------ Material: 100% Silk (Hand-dyed Kanoko Shibori) Crafted by: Kyoto Artisan, Handmade to Order Specifications (clasp not included) The Premium Kimono Tsumugi Series comes in three sizes: this is the S size, W10 x H8cm.
