About the Kimono Fabric
The decorative pocket is made from repurposed vintage Japanese silk kimono fabric featuring colorful folding fans, known as sensu in Japanese.
The folding fan is a traditional Japanese motif often associated with good fortune and prosperity, as its shape widens when opened.
The original kimono features an arrangement of fans across a vivid red background, creating a lively and celebratory design.
At AKIZAKURA, we explore how traditional Japanese textiles can be appreciated in new ways. By incorporating vintage kimono silk into an everyday bag, we give these beautiful materials another opportunity to be used and enjoyed.

As the pocket is made from repurposed vintage kimono fabric, minor marks or signs of previous use may be present.
