A dramatic Japanese wave motif meets a clean, contemporary silhouette in this one-of-a-kind shoulder bag.

Handcrafted in Japan from a vintage silk fukuro obi, the bag features an ukiyo-e-inspired tatsu-nami, or rising-wave, motif flowing across the textile in sweeping black, gold and silver lines. The structured shape provides a refined backdrop for the intricate weaving and carefully considered placement of the original obi pattern.

A gold-tone chain complements the metallic threads, while black silk satin on the back and interior creates an elegant finish. The compact silhouette transitions effortlessly from evening events and special occasions to any moment that calls for a truly distinctive accessory.

The selected vintage textile and individual pattern placement make this bag entirely unique. Only one is available.

About the Maker
Ayako, a couture sample seamstress with more than 40 years of experience, leads the making. Yuko, trained in kimono and luxury fur tailoring, advises on the handling of the vintage textile. Founder Ayuko translates this traditional artisanal knowledge into a clean, structured design for contemporary use.

The result is a singular piece that preserves the beauty and character of vintage Japanese silk while giving it a modern life.

A note about vintage textiles

Because this bag is made from a carefully selected vintage obi, subtle variations in the weave or minor signs of age may be present. These are not considered flaws; they are part of the textile’s history, authenticity and one-of-a-kind character.

Actual colours may vary slightly depending on lighting and screen settings.
