Boho Bag "Vivacious Whimsy"

A vivacious, double-sided boho bag made of silk, designed in the traditional Japanese style known as azumabukuro or origami bag. 
This oversized bag isn't just eye-catching; it's practically a celebrity on your arm, designed in electrifying, can't-look-away colors of green, red, and yellow. When we say "show-stopping," we mean it! This embroidered boho bag is guaranteed to catch everyone's attention and add some energy to your style. 

What makes this oversized bag even more special is that it's not churned out on an assembly line but crafted by skilled hands. We lovingly sew this one-of-the-kind embroidered boho bag from three vintage obi belts and lined it with a top-quality linen in traditional Japanese pattern. 

The real star of this zesty large boho bag is a 50-year-old silk obi belt in a vivacious grass green color generously embroidered with lush pink peonies, which in Japan symbolise wealth, prosperity and good fortune. But that’s not all: behold the gold mandalas, strikingly embroidered with precious metallic golden thread, giving this boho bag a touch of royal opulence. 

We've carefully matched the headlining fabric with a silk red yukata belt, which boasts a delicate pattern of decorative stripes. And let's not forget a burst of sunshine: the bright yellow part, made from a 30-year-old polyester Yukata belt.  

This oversized bag is a statement piece with a purpose, so it's both fashionable and functional. It's lined with Japanese cotton linen in a traditional pattern and features a handy pocket. For ease of use, we've added a practical magnet button for the closure.  

In a world of mass-produced fashion, this boho bag is a rare breed. It's a handmade work of art, a slice of vintage charm, and a dash of uniqueness that you won't find anywhere else. Get ready to flaunt a true conversation starter and never worry about anyone else having the same bag!

CARE INSTRUCTIONS: 
Here are a few things to know to keep your beautiful new bag looking its best: 

• Please be gentle with it! The silk embroidery covering the bag is what makes it so beautiful, but it is also quite delicate. Please be careful around rough surfaces, as they can catch and pull those gorgeous embroidery threads.  
• Silk hates moisture, so keep your piece in a dry space with optimal air circulation allowing it to air out each time you wear it. (read more about storing)
• DO NOT GET WET – silk gets water stains. 
• Dry clean only – please discuss the ability to dry clean with your dry cleaner. 
• Lightly spraying with a fabric freshener is okay. 
• Iron on medium with steam through a cloth. 

Please note: All the items in our store are created using vintage pieces that can be over 60+ years old and do have signs of wear. Loose embroidery threads, minor stains, and minimal fading are normal in our garments. 
Many of these kimonos have been stored away for years and can still have a slight mothball scent even after our rigorous cleaning process. This usually goes unnoticed but may bother those who are sensitive to those kinds of smells.
