Obi Clutch Purse

Lattice, gold, and a pair of green blossoms set on bright orange

This is a clutch purse made from obi kimono silk. Obi silk is often a dense brocade woven with metallic or colored threads, a heavy cloth that holds its shape well when cut and sewn into new forms. Small silver sprigs trim the blooms. A folded clutch where stepped white and gold bands frame orange diamonds. Two lime-green flowers sit at upper left and right center, and a red-orange flower blooms at lower left. It is 11.25 inches long, 3.25 deep and 8.5 high.

Orderly, gleaming, and gently showing off.
