One more christmas cutie

Christmas is so close you can almost touch it! And I've just added one more christmas cutie to my shop. Check out that stunning mix of green and gold obi fabric. I can only imagine what it must have looked like teamed with a kimono. I often wonder what kind of life my fabrics have led before I found them, and like to imagine they have a few stories to tell.

My favourite part of this item is the flash of hot pink lining when the bag is opened. It matches the small clutch bag that I added to my store recently, which means there is a choice in sizes. The large clutch has a detachable chain handle and can fit all the essentials for a night out. The small clutch is perfect for a posh meal out, or could even be used as a cosmetic bag. Either would look stunning with a little black dress.

You can find them in my store here.

Fabric Friday

It's beginning to feel a lot like christmas! Check out this Friday's fabric choice, a stunning red, green and gold Japanese obi fabric. I bought it at an antique market in Tokyo recently and couldn't resist its rich colour scheme. Can you see the hidden bird?! I've used some of the fabric to make a clutch bag, but have enough fabric for a few more.

Bling it up for christmas!

Check out this bunch of stunners!

They were all finished off this morning and have just been added to my Etsy store.

Each one is a clutch bag made from vibrant obi fabrics that I collected from antique markets in Tokyo. I chose bright colours with a big hit of gold for some extra drama and each has a bright contrasting lining. You can also use it as a handbag as each of them has a chain handle that flips nicely inside the bag for storage. You can request whether you would like a long chain that fits across the body or over the shoulder, or a short chain that can be worn over the shoulder or on the arm.They would make the perfect accessory for a christmas do and add a shot of bling to any outfit.

You can find them in my store here.
