Fujiro Clutch Lavender Silk Kimono Bag 2 piece Set with Hand-Sewn Beads, Vintage Upcycled Japanese Purse, Kiss Lock, Evening Bag

This clutch and matching coin purse has such a luxurious omeshi silk fabric with a heavy rinzu (damask) design featuring kikko (tortoise shells), a key fret, (symbolizing long life) and flowers. I purchased the kimono I made this from in Kyoto at Toji Temple and is a lavender or antique violet color. It is lined with a a matching chirimen 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 antique brass sakura handle. I love how the handle stands up (although it can be folded down). It has interfacing in a soft but thick fabric to give it shape but still let it be soft. I made a tassel and glass pearlized beads for a purse charm and made a matching one for the coin purse. 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!
