Vintage kimono clutch - Tassel
Details & Origin
This vintage kimono clutch is made of “chirimen”, Japanese silk crêpe, which gives it a very particular texture. You can notice the bag changes colours in different lights, and though it seems different on some photos, the colour is black.
It is decorated with a tassel at the front.
Clutches like this ones, 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.
