Obi Clutch Purse

A black clutch with red and green folding fans scattered across it, tied with pale cords.

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 folded rectangular bag in glossy black, woven with open fans in red, cream, and pale green. Flowers on curving stems and looping tasseled cords in white and pale metallic run across the surface. It is 9 inches long, 3 deep and 7 high.

Rather a lot of fans for such a small bag.
