A large zipper clutch with stunning Japanese vintage obi (long piece of fabric to tie around Kimono like a belt). It is a geometric pattern in red, yellow, green, white, black, silver and gold. The silver and gold threads are metallic and shiny to stand out. The material is vintage silk, and inside is lined with brown Japanese canvas called "sake-bukuro 酒袋". This is the type of material to make a bag to squeeze sake in the process of sake brewing. It has unique texture because of how they process to dye these fabric. It is really durable and thick as heavy canvas or jeans, yet soft and not so stiff, really perfect for this type of clutch. The zipper is black with antique gold metal parts from Japan. As you can see in the last two photos, some might contain a part with fold (crease) since the material is used vintage Kimono Obi. If you would like to look at the actual clutch before making a purchase, please feel free to reach me anytime. I will be more than happy to send you some photos of entire clutch.
Size: about W31cm x H21.5cm (12.5" x 8.5"), zipper size 30cm (11 13/16)
Care: Please do not wash unless you know how to take care of kimono materials. If you need to clean inside, you can pull out inside liner, and spot cleaning please. :-)

****This is vintage materials, because of its nature that there might be some small parts that has wrinkles or tiny spots etc. I will try my best to use only the finest part out of whole piece of obi/kimono, but please consider that there might be the chance to find tiny spot like that. I will be happy to send detail photos if you are comfortable to see them before placing the order. :-)
