Crafted from premium Japanese silk Obi (sash) fabric, this distinctive bag exemplifies refined artisanal craftsmanship. Its neutral palette complements any wardrobe while remaining versatile across seasons.
The structured silhouette measures 29cm wide by 21cm tall (36.5cm including handle) with 14cm depth, offering practical capacity without excess bulk. Handmade by skilled Japanese artisans using authentic kimono sash material, this piece bridges traditional textile heritage with contemporary accessory design. A sophisticated choice for those who appreciate quality construction and cultural authenticity.
Silk products used for kimonos and obi are delicate and require special care when handling them at home.
🧼 Washing Instructions (Hand Washing only)
Silk is susceptible to water, so hand washing is the best option.
1. Colourfastness Check
Always test for colourfastness on an inconspicuous area.
Apply a small amount of diluted mild detergent for delicates (a detergent specifically for silk is best) to a white cloth or cotton swab.
Lightly dab an inconspicuous area, such as the back.
After a few minutes, check to see if any colour has transferred to the white cloth.
If colour transfer occurs: Avoid washing at home and consult a specialist.
2. Hand Washing (Press Wash)
Dissolve the recommended amount of mild detergent in lukewarm water (below 30°C) or cold water to create a washing solution.
Gently submerge the product in the solution.
Without scrubbing, gently wash by repeatedly pressing the garment with both hands, submerging and lifting it (do this for a short time).
For particularly dirty areas, gently pat it with a sponge.
To remove any remaining detergent, change the water and gently rinse 2-3 times.
3. Spin and Dry
After rinsing, gently drain the water without wringing it out.
Place the product between two dry towels, such as a bath towel, and gently press down from above to absorb the moisture (towel dry).
Reshape the product and dry it flat in a well-ventilated area out of direct sunlight.
Avoid hanging the product on a hanger or with clothespins, as the weight can cause it to lose its shape or stretch.
✨ Maintenance
Daily care and storage are also important.
1. Daily Care
Dusting: Gently brush the surface with a soft brush after each use to remove dust and small stains.
Spot stains: For water-based stains (such as tea or coffee), immediately apply water or diluted mild detergent to white gauze or a cotton swab and absorb the stain by patting the stain without spreading it. It is important not to rub.
2. Ironing
After drying, if wrinkles are a concern, iron the product.
Always use a low heat setting and iron with a pressing cloth.
It is safer not to use steam, as it may damage the fabric.
