The Story Behind the Piece
This clutch began life as a vintage silk obi, a traditional sash worn over a kimono. The fan motif is rich in symbolism, representing celebration, renewal, and the graceful unfolding of life’s seasons. The fabric was sourced from a trusted dealer in Kagawa and carefully preserved before being reimagined by hand in my London atelier. The lining uses fabric from the same obi, maintaining the connection to its origin and enhancing the tactile experience.

Each stitch respects the heritage of the fabric while transforming it into a modern accessory that carries a timeless story.

How to Style It
This clutch is perfect for elevating both casual and formal outfits. Use it as a stand-alone statement piece or as a bag-in-bag to keep your essentials organized and stylish. Its compact size and unique design make it ideal for special occasions and everyday elegance.
