This 3-Way clutch bag is reconstructed from a vintage obi featuring Japan's traditional "Asanoha" (hemp leaf) pattern.
The Asanoha pattern, symbolizing strong vitality, has been cherished in Japan since ancient times as a symbol of "healthy growth" and "warding off evil."
Its geometric and modern design harmonizes beautifully with contemporary minimalist attire, adding an intellectual accent. The material is carefully selected vintage *shōken* (pure silk) in an elegant, lustrous lavender color.
The most significant feature is its 3-Way functionality, allowing it to transform its appearance according to the occasion.
Use it as a minimalist "clutch bag" for evening parties, or attach the shoulder strap to wear it as a "shoulder bag" or "crossbody" for a day out in the city. This single bag is versatile enough for everything from dressy outfits to casual denim styles. It is truly a unique art piece, cherishing the "Ichigo Ichie" (once-in-a-lifetime encounter) philosophy.
The interior is lined with a bright-toned fabric for easy visibility of contents, ensuring everyday usability.
As it is made from vintage obi, the exact pattern arrangement cannot be replicated, making each piece completely unique. This bag breathes new value into old materials, connecting them to the future. Owning this bag means embracing Japanese traditional beauty in your daily life while choosing an environmentally conscious, sustainable lifestyle.
Treat yourself or give it as a special gift to someone dear. We deliver a form of "iki" (chic, stylish) that is loved across borders and through time, from Japan to the world.
