Bumbag - Bamboo sunset shades
Mikan original creation.
This bum bag is a combination of antique Japanese textiles and new materials. It is handcrafted in my studio in Kyoto.
Details
The main fabric comes from an antique obi and is made of silk. The motif represents bamboo grass, an auspicious pattern. A thin layer of gold leaf is applied in some places, in order to restore the ancient fabric and cover small stains. You can see a bit of the process in the last 2 photos. It is inspired by the technique of kintsugi, which consists of fixing broken ceramics while embellishing them with gold powder.
The back of the bag is made in a lightweight 3D mesh which allows the bag to take minimum space when not full and perfectly fit against your body.
The adjustable strap allows you to wear it as a bum bag or a crossbody bag.
Materials
Front: antique Japanese obi belt 80%, silk 20% washi paper, gold hints
Back: resistant 3D mesh polyester & nylon mix
Gold waterproof zipper
Adjustable nylon strap
Size
height: 19 cm in the centre front
width: 18 cm at the bottom and 29 cm at the largest
depth: up to 15 cm
adjustable strap: decide on the length when adding this bag to your cart
