Japanese Tote Bag Purse Green Teal Floral Kimono Fabric Kyoto

This purse is made from kimono fabric. The fabric is new, made from left over fabric from kimono creation. This bag zips closed and has two handles. The outside is a chirimen silk and has amazing details. It has two outside slip in pockets (one on each side) and small leaf shaped decorations on each end of the zipper, mimicking that shape where the handles attach as well. There is a small slip in pocket on the inside too. The bag measures 5.5" x 5" x 3" (plus the handles). It is lined in beige. This bag has really fabulous details. I had added a coordinating cord shoulder strap that clips on and is removable. I also added a handmade purse charm of a tassel and metal cat charm. 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. The small omikuji rabbit is not included- it contains a great good fortune from Okazaki Shrine, just north of Gion in Kyoto so I can't part with it. I like to think the luck is rubbing off onto the purse. :) 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.
