Golden Karakusa – Vintage Silk Kimono Travel Pouch / 金唐草紋様トラベルポーチ
This elegant travel pouch is handcrafted in London from vintage Japanese kimono silk, carefully sourced by Risa from trusted artisans across Japan.
The exterior showcases a Golden Karakusa motif—a traditional Japanese arabesque pattern symbolizing longevity, prosperity, and continuity—on a luminous golden-hued background. A YKK Japan zipper ensures smooth, long-lasting use, while a tassel adds a refined, sophisticated accent.
Spacious yet structured, this pouch is ideal for toiletries, cosmetics, or travel essentials. Fully lined for durability, it combines the artistry of Japanese textiles with practical, contemporary design.
