A one-of-a-kind evening clutch with a story to tell...
Every bag I create is made entirely by hand from a vintage Japanese Obi – the beautiful silk sash traditionally worn with a Kimono.
No two bags are ever the same. Each piece carries the history, craftsmanship and elegance of Japanese textile art while giving these exceptional fabrics a new life as a timeless accessory.
Whether you're looking for an elegant evening bag, a unique wedding clutch or a meaningful gift, this clutch is designed to become a treasured companion for many years.
The Meaning Behind the Pattern
This Obi features several traditional Japanese motifs, each carrying its own symbolism:
✧ Kikkou (Hexagon) – inspired by the turtle shell, representing longevity and good fortune.
✧ Hanabishi – a diamond-shaped floral motif symbolizing beauty and refinement.
✧ Sayagata – an ancient pattern representing infinity, harmony and continuous happiness.
✧ Noshi – decorative ceremonial ribbons that stand for celebration, prosperity and good luck.

Please Note:
Because I create every bag from vintage Obi silk, slight signs of age or small irregularities may occasionally be visible. These are not flaws—they are part of the fabric's history and make every bag truly one of a kind.
To preserve the delicate silk and embroidery:
• Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
• Keep away from excessive moisture.
• Spot clean only. Do not machine wash.
