Vintage kimono clutch - black landscape

Vintage item

Details & Origin

This vintage kimono clutch is made from jacquard woven silk satin which gives it a very special sheen. You can see that the bag changes colour depending on how the light hits it, and although it looks different in some photos, the colour is black.

The embroidered motif on the front of the bag shows a typical Japanese landscape with hills and pine trees.

Clutches like this one, which is made entirely of black fabric, were originally designed for funeral ceremonies and are meant to be elegant but sober. Their monochrome texture makes them look so modern. Such bags are usually covered with all-over motifs, and it is rare to see one with a central motif like this. The inside is made of monochrome silk twill and the entire clutch has a sturdy structure.
