Vintage kimono hand pouch - Silver & pink rickshaw
Vintage item
Details & Origin
This vintage clutch is made of traditional Japanese textiles, woven from silk and lamé threads which together give this bag a very particular shine. You can notice the bag changes colours in different lights, and the silver outlines intensify.
The motifs represent a rikshaw surrounded by peonies and chrysanthemums. As it was tradition to arrange a rickshaw for the spouses on their weeding day, it’s a pattern that is very present of formal kimono articles.They evoque the wishes of a happy life journey together.
The inside is made of plain silk satin with 2 small inner pockets. The whole bag is consolidated with a sturdy structure.
It opens and closes with a silver chiselled knob clasp and the chain is retractable.
