Purse made from _ KIMONO_VINTAGE – Unique Item

Description

Clutch made from a vintage kimono of silk threads.
Unique – Upcycling – Reuse – Preloved
I work with kimonos that have been worn to which I give another life. Travelling fabrics – unique objects for multiple uses
This is the beginning of a second life for them.
Being worn has deformed, stretched, torn, worn them out. So I work with a material that is less “stable” than a new fabric, which, telling a thousand stories, is distended, holey fabric, stained in places. First I dismantle and unstitch each kimono. I wash the strips of fabric collected and then inspect holes, wear points and other souvenirs that I put aside. I use the fabric pieces free of those souvenirs and rich with so many others
Now it’s your turn to continue its story. Bon voyage (◡‿◡✿)
