Handmade Silk Kimono Obi Shoulder Bag | Upcycled Embroidered Crossbody AFB Line

🌸 About Our Affordable Line This piece is offered at a lower price because the side with the brand tag and magnetic closure naturally becomes the front, causing the subtle woven line to appear on the outward-facing side. However, this definition is only based on the internal tag position — you may simply use the reverse side (which has no line) as the front without any issue. 🌸 Why It’s Special • 100% silk fukuro obi — upcycled from a formal kimono sash woven with shimmering metallic threads. • Features a dramatic chrysanthemum motif — a traditional symbol of longevity, renewal, and refined beauty in Japan. • One-of-a-kind — each piece is handcrafted from an antique obi, ensuring a unique fusion of heritage and contemporary elegance. 📏 Dimensions Height: 19 cm (7.5”) Width (top): 29 cm (11.4”) Width (bottom): 26 cm (10.2”) Depth: 3 cm (1.2”) 🧵 Materials • Outer: Vintage fukuro obi (100% silk with metallic threads) • Strap: Gold-tone chain • Lining: Coordinated inner fabric • Structure: Firm interfacing for shape retention • Closure: Magnetic snap • Tag: Premium Japanese leather, color-matched to the design 🤫 Behind the Craft Each bag is created by a cross-generational team: • Ayako (40+ yrs as a couture sample seamstress) leads the making. • Yuuko (trained in kimono and luxury fur tailoring) advises on fabric handling. • Ayuko (brand founder, former corporate consultant) designs each piece, translating Japan’s tacit artisanal knowledge into structured modernity. We collaborate with trusted workshops to ensure both small-batch uniqueness and scalable quality. ⚠️ Note While the obi is carefully selected from well-preserved vintage stock, slight age marks may remain. These are embraced as part of the textile’s story and authenticity. ✈️ Free Express Shipping Worldwide from Japan via EMS (Express Mail Service) — insured, tracked, and delivered in 2–10 business days.
