Giemon

With a sleek, flat profile and strong kisslock closure, this beautifully constructed and fully lined little purse will keep your essential cards, a few mints, and some parking money handy, whilst taking up next to no space.

A lovely gift or addition to the organised handbag, it showcases the traditional process of Kasuri textile production, in which threads are resist dyed and skilfully woven to achieve distinctive 'blurred' patterns.

material : cotton with metal closure

length : 12cm
height : 8cm

Woven and constructed in Fukuoka since 1971, Kurume Kasuri aim to modernise a traditional weaving style which has a history in Japan reaching back over 220 years.

Kasuri (絣) is a process of skilfully binding warp and/or weft threads before they are indigo dyed. Once woven, undyed sections create complex and distinctive patterns, often with soft or 'blurred' edges; the verb kasureru (かすれる) means "to blur" or "to fade".

In 1957, the traditional techniques of Kurume Kasuri were designated an Important Intangible Cultural Property of Japan, and the company is proud to preserve this beautiful tradition with simple designs for daily use.
