Japanese-inspired artwork

Over the past few months I've been working on ideas for digital downloads for my store. These are not physical items that are sent out, but are instant downloads which means that, once purchased the customer can download the file and print it at home. It could also be taken to a high street printer or printed via an online print company. These bright, fresh prints were inspired by the kimonos I have in my collection and would make a great addition to any room in the home.

Kimono cuff bracelets

We love vintage kimono fabrics and Japanese cottons at Cheeky Leopard and they lend themselves so beautifully to many different products in my store, including these fabulous cuff bracelets.


I'm naturally drawn to bright colours and with each bracelet, I like to take my time to choose the right design. The design can't be too big, otherwise you won't see enough of it, in such a small space.


Each cuff has a canvas strap inside. This gives it strength, but also means that it is flexible so that it fits around the wrist easily. I back each cuff with a solid cotton fabric, using a colour that compliments the main design.


Each cuff is held closed with a complimentary kimono-covered button and brightly coloured elastic loop. The elastic means that the cuff can expand to fit different-sized wrists.


If bright colours are not your thing, this cuff bracelet below is more subdued with its pretty black and white butterfly design. There are touches of red in the body of the butterflies so I decided to use a red backing to match it.


This cuff is held closed with a hexagon print kimono-covered button and red elastic loop.


These cuffs are a great addition to any outfit and make a lovely gift for someone special. It could also be matched to one of the silk scarves or kimono clutch bags which can all be found in my store.
