Japanese Kinchaku Purse Pink Sakura Kimono Fabric Kyoto Drawstring

This purse is made from kimono fabric. The fabric is new, made from left over fabric from kimono creation. This bag has a drawstring top, a traditional Japanese style for wearing with a kimono. It is made with chirimen silk and most of it is a pink sakura pattern with silver and gold sparkly accents- so pretty! The photo didn't capture it well but I tried. It is lined in red patterned silk fabric at the top and plain red for the lower part. The circular bottom is the bag is firm so it stands up when full. The bag measures 5" x 6", plus 2" for the drawstring portion. I have added a removable matching cord shoulder strap that clips on and made a purse charm of a tassel with a sakura bead. 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 x 3 people... it was something) and I have lots more kimonos, kanzashi, obis 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.
