Anzi Selects [Kyoto Artisan Custom-Made Coin Purse] #Black Cat Series Cat Paw Mimi Bag - The cat paw motif carries an auspicious meaning of moving forward~ and can also attract wealth. 》 Each style and batch is limited in stock. During a spring cherry blossom trip to Kyoto, I encountered many wonderful people and things. It not only allowed me to re-experience the essence of living well, but also to witness the ancient capital's emphasis and creativity in traditional culture and craftsmanship. What captured my heart at first sight was this coin purse, personally crafted by a Kyoto kimono artisan. ◾️ Product Description I've always been captivated by coin purses. The crisp, satisfying click of the clasp opening and closing, and the elegant, sophisticated aura they exude when held, coin purses are simply the perfect accessory (weapon) to make one feel complete. Mr. Nakamura, a somewhat shy yet distinguished artisan, has retired from the ranks of kimono artisans. With his exceptional eye and skill, he selects exquisite kimono fabrics to create these one-of-a-kind coin purses. - ◾️ The [Black Cat Series], inspired by his beloved cats: Mr. Nakamura is meticulous about the materials used for his coin purses. He specially selected 100% "Tango Chirimen" premium kimono silk for the exterior, then dyed it black. The gold lines are hand-pressed and adhered with gold leaf, stroke by stroke. The lining varies with each batch. (This level of detail almost drove myself and the artisan crazy...) The playful, lively eyes, paired with the classic, elegant bag shape, will win you over, whether you're a cat lover or not. ------------------------ The spirit of lifelong dedication is fully evident in the details and material selection of his work. For instance, his insistence on using natural pure silk sets his coin purses apart from those made with synthetic fibers or cotton found elsewhere. Even accessories should be like fine jewelry, able to withstand scrutiny. The artisan advised, "Use it gently, and the texture will become even softer over time." Indeed, Kyoto residents truly appreciate fine things~ No wonder they take such pride in their city. Such a treasure moved me to want it to be part of "Dear Anzi" selections. I bravely negotiated with Mr. Nakamura multiple times, and I'm grateful he agreed, specially crafting a batch for Anzi before my return. Compared to the myriad of coin purses out there, these are understated. Yet, they possess a subtle, inner radiance that elicits admiration upon first sight! The exquisite choice of materials and clasps truly shines. You'll understand the underlying principle even more after using it. Each opening and closing carries an elegant charm, and the more you look, the more you'll love it. If you have the chance to own one, you'll grasp the value Kyoto artisans aim to convey. ------------------------ Material: 100% pure silk (Tango Chirimen) Craftsmanship: Custom-made by Kyoto artisans Specifications (excluding clasp): The Black Cat Series comes in four sizes: this is the M size, W15 x H10.5cm The M clutch is suitable for: cash, change, credit cards, business cards, lipstick, lip balm, keys, and other essential small items for going out... ------------------------ If you like a particular style, please act quickly. (Note: The pattern placement on each clutch may vary slightly from the photo.) If you miss out on a style you love, we will ask the artisan to make more. Pre-orders will be available, but quantities will remain extremely limited. I hope everyone can see this beautiful craftsmanship and design, and that Mr. Nakamura can continue to accompany his beloved cats for a long time, focusing on creating his cherished coin purses.
