Coral and Ebony Stripes Tote Bag

Coral and Ebony Stripes Tote Bag
(15,000 JPY/$150/110 Euros/£87)

Not all Kimono Obis are ornate and glittering with gold, silver and various bright colors.  This type of Obi is more down key and only uses two colors of silk threads. This one was woven in Hakata in Fukuoka Prefecture (Kyushu) and is characterized by the use of repeating geometric designs.  It is a class of Obi that is made for everyday use rather than on special occasions.  The Obi is more comfortable than some of the more ornate Obi and it commands a high price on the market.

We have added a black and white striped lining inside and a black pocket to make the bag a little more interesting.
