Unqiue silk kimono obi repurposed into a handclutch which can be worn with a sling (included) for a more casual outing.
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
The Mandala motif is a uniquely Tang dynasty motif which found its way to Japan through the silk road and with the spread of Buddhism. The peonies further adds tot he entire feel of medieval Tang China in the 7th to 10th century with its full petals echoing the period’s love for full-bodiedwomen. The vibrant colours and bold use of gold spanning across the entire surface is very emblematic of the opulence of Tang. We particularly love how the shape of the clutch mirrors the mandala shape and the subtle lozenge motifs in the base fabric.
