Orange Silk Recycled Japanese Kimono Obi Zip Pouch and Purse
£16.00
Unique orange silk purse and pouch made from part of a recycled vintage (from before 2000) Japanese obi which is the beautiful belt wrapped around a kimono. 2 sizes available (15 x 14cm) (20 x 14cm). Larger size suitable as a small evening bag, big enough to hold phone and a few essential items.
These unique zip pouches are made from a recycled vintage Japanese silk Fukuro obi which is the beautiful wide belted bow around the kimono. The front features a floral design (umi branch – plum blossom) with silk and metallic thread on bright orange background. For the back I have used the orange silk back of the obi. The lining is a speckled orange cotton called Toast twist. Both silks have a nice stiff texture and between the fabrics I have added a medium loft iron on wadding to help keep the shape. Each pouch has a bright orange zip opening. See photos for further detail. I do not waste any fabric and have a zero waste approach to my sewing. These pouches are all varying sizes as I utilise all my fabric and trim off cuts including short pieces of left over zip.
These would make an ideal evening or wedding bag. The smaller pouch is substantial enough to hold a few items including keys & money. The larger pouch could also hold a phone. However, they would also make a luxury small flat lay make up bag or hold whatever you want. I use mine to keep my kimono silk hair scrunchies which are available in another listing.
As this is recycled fabric there may be the very occasional stitch mark in the fabric, blemish or fold line. I have checked them fully to make sure they do not spoil the quality of the product.
