Care Instructions
Spot clean with a damp cloth. Store away from prolonged direct sunlight to preserve colour vibrancy. Handle with care to protect the delicate vintage kimono silk.
When opening the pouch, please pull the zipper string rather than the tassel, as the tassel is a decorative detail and pulling it may loosen or damage the threads over time.
 
Before you make a purchase, please read the shipping and return policies.
