Japanese Kinchaku Purse Black Kimono Fabric Kyoto Drawstring

This purse is made from kimono fabric and is vintage but unused. The fabric is new also, made from left over fabric from kimono creation. This bag has a drawstring top with a doubled cord through loops with wooden beads on the ends, a traditional Japanese style for wearing with a kimono. It has a split design with chirimen silk on the lower part and a sueded velvety feeling fabric on the upper part and the bottom. It is lined in a burnt orange fabric. The circular bottom is the bag is firm so it stands up when full. The bag measures 6.5" x 8". I have added a removable matching cord shoulder strap that clips on and a handmade purse charm of a gold tassel with wooden beads. When last in Kyoto a shop was closing not too far from Nishiki market. The person who made the purses has long retired and they were selling off what was left. I picked up several purses (more than 50 actually- oops) because the craftmanship was incredible (check out my shop if you want to see more!). The pictures don't do it justice. I brought back lots of items from Japan on my last trip (two checked bags each for free x 3 people... it was something) and I have lots more kimonos, kanzashi, obis (I have a couple of orange ones that go great with this kimono!), and purses/bags that I'll be listing as I get to them. Feel free to let me know what you are looking for and I'm happy to help if I can.
