2way Kimono Obi 100% Silk Bag | Handmade Japanese Clutch & Side Purse | Upcycled

A rare fusion of Japan’s ceremonial silk and modern versatility — this handmade 2way bag can be worn as a side bag with its gold chain strap, or carried as a clutch by slipping your hand elegantly between the oversized bow and the body.
