Obi Clutch Purse

Black on black, with ghostly circular crests that appear only when the light allows

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. Clean, tidy edges. A smooth, matte black folded clutch with tone-on-tone round crests woven into the surface, each a ring around a four-lobed flower. A small dot marks the left crest's center. It is 11.25 inches long, 3.25 deep and 8.5 high.

Understated to the point of whispering.
