Fukuro Obi Clutch 4422B

$225.00 USD

| /

Our signature clutch, hand made from vintage 'obi': the sash worn with kimono at formal occasions.

A delicate woven pattern of Ume trees.  Ume, the Plum Blossom is a very popular symbol on fabrics. It is a favourite within the range of Japanese designs: it’s beauty and fragrance has been reflected in many poems. It is the first of the year to bloom, and therefore represents endurance. 

This vintage Fukuro Obi was sourced from the Osaka area of Japan.  It is approximately 30 to 40 years old, and in excellent condition.

Handmade by self help groups in Cambodia.

Dimensions: 29.5cm x 21.5cm
