Hibiya Kadan x chiko | Saki-Nui Flower Basket Tokimeki | Mimosa

Crafted with an abundance of air, this piece fully embraces the gentle softness, delicate sheerness, and harmonious interplay of colors when light passes through organza. The Tokimeki basket, a collaboration with Hibiya Kadan, faithfully recreates the natural essence of mimosa. Neither too large nor too small, not too flashy nor too simple, it strikes a perfect medium in every aspect. Enjoy it in various ways: as a handheld basket, slung over your shoulder, or worn crossbody. A 120cm strap is included. All metal fittings are securely sewn in place with the signature "Saki-Nui" fabric. Meticulous Craftsmanship Each bag uses over 10 meters of organza. The process begins with carefully tearing the fabric into strips. From the basket, vibrantly colored "Saki-Nui" flowers bloom abundantly. This is why I named it "Saki-Nui" (blooming weave) instead of "Saki-Nui" (tearing weave). A detachable shoulder strap is included. You can carry it around freely or hold it close as a cherished item. Although not pictured, an inner organza bag made from the same fabric is included. Made with Love Completely crafted from organza, including the stitching, this bag is exceptionally lightweight and won't be a burden on your outings. Its tightly woven structure ensures it won't unravel or lose its volume, even if it gets wet or jostled during your travels! It can also be hand-washed if it becomes soiled. [Colors] Yellow, Pale Yellow, Ivory, Moss Green, Blue Purple [Size] Maximum Diameter: 25cm Height: 25cm (excluding handle) Strap: 120cm (including fittings) [Material] Organza Material Focus The fluffy "Saki-Nui" texture is born from organza. Organza is a thin, lightweight, and crisp woven plain fabric with a firm texture. Its ability to transmit light creates a unique soft ambiance and an elegant sheerness that evokes transparency, characterized by its distinct luster and resilience. After experimenting with various fabrics, chiko uses polyester organza for its superior strength and consistent quality. Characteristics of "Saki-Nui" Products ◎ "Just Right" for Your Everyday Outings The light-permeable organza blends seamlessly with your daily attire and destinations. The interplay of colors as light passes through creates a variety of expressions. Even when shared with family or friends, each person can enjoy its unique character! ◎ Delicate in Appearance, Yet Remarkably Durable Organza maintains its color without fading over time. Its tightly woven construction means it won't sag or unravel, even when bumped in a crowded train or stored in a pouch! Even if caught in the rain, its fluffy texture remains intact. Feel confident stepping out, whatever the weather! Notes on Handling "Saki-Nui" Products As the fabric is torn to create these items, some fraying is natural. While some fibers may shed initially, they will settle with use, becoming less prone to falling. We encourage you to enjoy this unique texture. If you notice dirt, gently press and wash the item. Air dry it, and its volume will be restored!
