This unique tote bag is meticulously handcrafted using luxurious vintage Japanese silk (Seigen) and Obijime (silk cord), blending traditional artistry with modern functionality.

Design Highlights

  • Vibrant Blue and Gold Butterfly Pattern: On a deep, vivid blue silk base, elegant butterflies are depicted with beautiful gold accents. In Japanese culture, the butterfly is an auspicious motif symbolizing rebirth and growth.
  • Glittering Black Silk Lining: The interior is lined with black silk featuring subtle woven patterns and a gentle glitter (Lame). It provides a premium, sparkling touch every time you open the bag.
  • Reclaimed Obijime Handle: The handle is made from a genuine "Obijime"—the decorative silk cord used to secure a kimono sash. The contrast of black and orange adds a sharp, modern accent, while the silk construction ensures durability and a comfortable grip. The length is adjustable.
