I have a lot of products in my Etsy shop that are made from vintage Japanese kimono fabrics. I lived in Tokyo for four years and during that time I collected a lot of fabrics, from fabulous stores around Tokyo but also from the many antique markets that I went to, that were often held in the grounds of shrines. I make scarves and clutch bags with these fabrics, but I inevitably have leftover pieces that I keep and make into fabulous little patchwork purses. Each purse is totally unique and uses kimono fabrics in a similar colour palette. This purse uses kimonos in shades of purple and pink.
The purse is lightly padded and has a purple cotton lining. It's perfect for using as a handbag organiser or as a mini travel bag to store all your essentials in.
It has a purple zipper closure and a purple tassel on the zipper pull.
The reverse side of the purse also includes two pretty pink kimono fabrics.
This purse could also be used as a mini makeup bag. The bright colour makes it was not find in your bag. This purse would make a great gift for a Japan lover.
You can find it in my Etsy shop here.
