Silver Floral River – Vintage Silk Kimono Boxed Makeup Pouch / 流水柄の化粧ポーチ
 
This sophisticated boxed makeup pouch is handcrafted in London from vintage Japanese kimono silk, carefully sourced by Risa from trusted artisans across Japan.
The exterior features a refined Silver Floral River (流水柄) motif, enriched with traditional Japanese symbolism:

流水（flowing water） represents purity, protection, and the cleansing of misfortune, as well as continuous prosperity and an unbroken flow of good fortune.
紅葉（maple leaves） symbolise emotional depth, the beauty of seasonal change, and longevity.
鴨（ducks） are associated with harmony and marital happiness, often representing lifelong partnership and balance.

Together, these motifs create a serene and meaningful composition inspired by nature, seasonal change, and emotional harmony, expressed through soft silver tones and flowing textile patterns.

A YKK Japan zipper ensures smooth, durable use, while a tassel adds a refined finishing touch. Compact yet spacious, the structured silhouette is ideal for cosmetics, travel essentials, or cherished small items. Fully lined for durability, it blends traditional Japanese artistry with modern everyday function.

Care Instructions

When opening the pouch, pull the zipper string rather than the tassel, as the tassel is decorative and pulling it may loosen or damage the threads over time.
