This is a stylish new obi fabric made of Nishijin-ori, which I obtained from a long-established Kyoto kimono shop that has been taking care of me for generations. All of my works are made from new obi or obi fabric before it becomes an obi. I'm sorry, but I can't handle antique remakes because I have allergies. This is a rare obi fabric with a deep, rich color that's perfect for the coming fall and winter, with a subtle gradation! The damask pattern drawn with black flocking on silk is super stylish ♡ The design is very chic and cool. The front and back have different expressions, and I think the pattern matching turned out perfectly. I really recommend it!! The clasp is small at 18.5cm, but it has a solid base and gusset, so it has a surprising amount of storage capacity. You can easily fit a cell phone, a mini cosmetic pouch, keys, a wallet, and an envelope wrapped in a furoshiki at the bottom. The gathers and gussets are well-made, and even when packed with luggage, it has a cute, plump, and lovely shape. If you wish, I will carefully embroider the clasp with high-quality imitation pearls or luxurious Czech glass beads. It's really elegant and wonderful★ You can coordinate it with a dress or kimono for party scenes. I think it will look great with a simple dress, suit, or one-piece... Of course, it's also suitable for weddings and bridal events, as well as graduation and entrance ceremonies. It also goes perfectly with denim and is recommended for stylish spring outings. I hope a wonderful woman will carry it. The obi fabric is silk (excluding gold and silver threads). The obi fabric has an interfacing, so it has a moderate firmness. The handle clasp is 18cm. Width: 24cm at the widest part of the bottom Height: 15cm including the clasp Gusset: 8cm. All measurements are approximate. I used the same shape for formal occasions, and the contents were: An envelope wrapped in a compact furoshiki iPhone Wallet Small cosmetic pouch Handkerchief and pocket tissue Smart key It maintained a cute and lovely form even with all of that♡ The clasp is carefully hand-sewn.
