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 has a blue pattern with rabbits. 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 the top and a purse charm made of a tassel and 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. The small omijuki 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 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.
