Vintage kimono clutch - Black hanabishi & kiku
Details & Origin
This vintage kimono clutch is made of jacquard woven silk which gives it a very particular shine. You can notice the bag changes colours in different lights, and though it seems different in some photos, the colour is black.
The motif represents hanabishi (4 petals flowers) and kiku (chrysanthemums) arranged in turtle scales. The motif isn’t perfectly aligned with the edge of the bag, as you can see in the last 2 photos.
Clutches like this one, entirely made of black fabric, are originally designed to be worn for funeral ceremonies and have to be elegant but sober. Re-styled with a different outfit, the monochrome textured motifs gain a real sense of modernity! The inside is made of plain silk twill and the whole clutch is consolidated with a sturdy structure.
