[Unique] Chrysanthemums blooming silk clutch in Orange
$250.00
Unqiue silk kimono obi repurposed into a handclutch which can be worn with a sling (included) for a more casual outing. The main textile with motif is a combination of both weaved motif and embroidery, which takes great patience and skill.
The bag comes with a matching Revolving Dragon’s Whiskers Tassel.
The Revolving Dragon’s Whiskers Tassel, which rose to popularity during the reign of Emperor Qianlong in the 17th century. Unlike the commercially available tassels in the mass market that are machine made, these are only possible to be made by hand. The end loops back to the top to ensure that it will never fray as the ends are never cut but twisted into shape.

Description
Chrysanthemum means different things to different cultures–the imperial family for the Japanese, the offerings for Chinese funerals, and autumn for the rest of us. Appreciation for the chrysanthemum has a long history in Japan, dating back to the Nara period. And traditionally in Chinese literati circle, it was one of the four gentlemen symbolising resilience.
