Obi Clutch Purse

One crisp gold hexagon holds a crowded bouquet on a sea of scarlet

This is a clutch purse made from obi kimono silk. A clutch is a handbag without a strap that is carried in the hand or under the arm, and its flat shape suits cloth with a bold pattern. A red folded clutch with a large gold-bordered hexagon enclosing a dense cluster of small flowers around a central medallion. A silver and cream panel with honeycomb texture sweeps across the left. The right end is solid red. It is 11.25 inches long, 3.25 deep and 8.5 high.

Bold on red, delicate in the details.
