About the Fabric:The fabric is made from vibrant kimono and obi textiles used during celebratory days in the Showa era. Some materials and weaves are rare and have already ceased production.The patterns include auspicious floral motifs, birds, gold thread embroidery, and Nishijin-ori (Kyoto brocade), collected from all over Japan.Because the raw materials are high-quality, this item is only possible as a remade, recycled product.
About the Sewing:Manufactured in Toyooka City, Hyogo Prefecture, Japan, the largest production area for bags.Produced by experienced bag artisans at companies that sell necessary bag materials and own YKK zippers.Pattern placement, orientation, and the front-back direction of the obi belt are decided in Tokyo. Subsequently, molds are created at a factory that produces the molds, which are then used to cut the fabric and sew the bag.
Kimono and obi fabrics vary in embroidery, weaving, thickness, and texture, making sewing challenging even for skilled artisans.In Toyooka, the tradition of basketry using willow, originating from the "Yanagi" craft mentioned in the Kojiki, has been passed down for over a thousand years.Under strict quality control cultivated through this long-standing tradition, the products are made.
