Vintage Japanese Folding Clutch Bag – Woven Floral Patchwork

A wonderfully unusual vintage Japanese bag that folds in half to become a clutch.

Made from richly woven fabric, the intricate patchwork-style design combines Japanese floral and traditional textile motifs in deep blue, burnt orange, green and cream.

Opened out, the bag measures a generous 24 cm (9½”) square. Fold it in half and the metal frame forms the top of an elegant, compact clutch — a clever Japanese design that is both practical and beautiful.

The interior is finished with dark blue cotton lining, while the dark metal frame has a traditional kiss-lock closure.

Originally designed as an accessory for wearing with kimono, its wonderful textile and simple shape make it just as appealing with contemporary fashion.

Vintage Condition: Probably unused. There are minor natural irregularities in the weave characteristic of the fabric. Please see the photographs.
