Cream Silk Kimono Bag with Hand-Sewn Beads, Vintage Upcycled Japanese Purse, Kanzashi Flower Kiss Lock Clutch, Evening Bag

This clutch has such a luxurious silk fabric. I purchased the kimono I made this from in Kyoto at Toji Temple and is a cream color with a rinzu damask design with fine black line work of camellias on it (in Japan camellias symbolize love and devotion). It is lined with a white silk from the lining of the same kimono. Japanese silks are so lovely! The bag is attached to the frame with hand sewn glass beads. I love the gunmetal sakura handle, which I match up to go with the line work design. I love how the handle stands up (although it can be folded down). It has a pocket made from the outer fabric that I lined up to have some of the line work on it as well. It has interfacing in a soft but thick fabric to give it shape but still let it be soft. I made a kanzashi flower from the same fabric as a purse charm and it is removable (the rhinestone center is front and back so it looks good either direction). It measures about 9.5" x 5". I really wanted it large enough to hold a large phone (I have an iphone 15 pro so it's big!). It's a lovely bag that would be fabulous for a wedding or other formal affair. I have plenty of other Japanese items and other purses in my shop so check it out!
