Obi Clutch Purse

A purple folded clutch blooming with a big gold chrysanthemum.

This is an obi clutch purse in kimono silk. The obi is the wide sash worn over a kimono in Japan, and its silk is often woven or embroidered with rich patterns, making the fabric well suited to reuse. A rectangular folded envelope shape with a deep violet center panel and a large gold flower with radiating petals. Narrow side bands show a golden honeycomb pattern, and the edges are neatly finished. It is 11.25 inches long, 3.25 deep and 8.5 high.

Purple, gold, and entirely unafraid of attention.
