Japanese Tote Bag Purse Lucky Cat Black 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, beckoning (lucky) cat, temari balls and sakura. The gold details are sparkly. The bottom of the bag is hard and measures 4.5" square. The bag is 5" tall (plus the handles) and 8.5" across the top. It is lined in black. I have added a removable matching cord shoulder strap that clips on and a handmade purse charm of a gold tassel with a 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 cat chopstick rest is not included- just included for size and extra good luck! 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 (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.
