Description from the seller
This is an exceptional formal handbag produced by Kinwashi Honpo (Golden Eagle), one of the most prestigious and established brands for traditional kimono accessories in Japan. The original box is proudly marked with the phrase Highest Class Creative Masterpiece, signifying that this item was crafted as a top-tier luxury product intended for special celebratory occasions. In Japan, Kinwashi products are sold in high-end department stores and specialized kimono shops, considered a status symbol for their uncompromising quality and traditional craftsmanship.
The design features a breathtaking gold and vermilion gradient, known as the Bokashi technique, which resembles a beautiful sunset or dawn. The surface is embellished with gold dust and depicts the elegant Sakura (Cherry Blossom) pattern. In Japanese culture, the cherry blossom symbolizes new beginnings, beauty, and good fortune, making this bag perfect for auspicious events such as weddings, tea ceremonies, and coming-of-age celebrations.
This bag offers versatile functionality with a unique 2-way design. The handle is meticulously engineered to tuck completely inside the frame, transforming the handbag into a sophisticated clutch. This allows the user to adapt the style to match different outfits, whether it is a traditional Kimono or a modern evening dress. The interior is lined with fabric featuring the woven Kinwashi logo pattern and includes a convenient pocket. The metal frame opens wide, allowing for easy access to your essentials.
