These days it feels as if the autumn season has arrived already.
Just as I was about to get down to the work of making winter items in right time, I found the perfect golden yellow for autumn. So, here are a few pieces that give you a sense of autumn.
This beautifully colored obi, reminding one of autumn leaves, is a Nagoya obi that gives a sense of the Showa era's golden age. The texture of the cloth's unevenness and shine are fascinating.
A zipper pocket on the outside is very convenient for small items.
Size: 23 cm (length) x 29 cm (width) x 30 cm (bottom)
The bottom, which is lightweight but has a firm through-gusset, is rounded at the corners. You can feel the elegant appearance.
The inside has an open pocket and a zipper pocket, so various small items can be stored nicely.
This wild yellow Nagoya obi might be considered a bit gaudy as an original obi. but when it is redesigned as an upcycled piece, it becomes more easily adaptable to everyday life, don't you think? Also, the use of wood handles gives the whole piece an image of beautiful gingko leaves in autumn. How about a 'one-of-a-kind' bag with a special attention to style?
I think it can be a very stylish item for the autumn season.
