Our signature clutch, hand made from vintage 'obi': the sash worn with kimono at formal occasions.
This back obi is decorated with the repeating pattern of Kikkou: as it resembles a tortoiseshell pattern it is a sign of long life as the tortoise was believed to live for over 1000 years.
On top of the pattern Choucho, butterflies flutter. These creatures also have a special place in Japan as they represent passed loved ones.
This vintage Fukuro Obi was sourced from the Osaka area of Japan. It is approximately 20 to 30 years old, and in excellent condition.
Handmade by self help groups in Cambodia.
Dimensions: 30.5cm x 22.5cm
