Gilded Crane: Vintage Obi Silk Clutch | Heritage Series
€295.00
Part of the Heritage Series, the Gilded Crane limited edition is crafted from a rare vintage obi — a formal
Japanese sash once worn at weddings and important ceremonies. Double-layered and densely woven, the brocade
carries gold-toned metallic threads that give the fabric weight, structure, and a subtle sheen. Traditional
motifs of crane, pine, plum, and mountain celebrate longevity and auspicious beginnings; decades on, the silk
remains remarkably vibrant.
Cut and assembled in Dublin, the clutch is lined with silk from the same kimono and finished with a brass magnetic
closure and two gold-toned steel D-rings for an optional detachable chain. The edition will continue only until the
original obi is used up — no more than a handful of pieces in total. Each piece is numbered; your specific number is
noted on the accompanying edition card.
Sized for evening essentials — a phone, lipstick, and a cardholder — it’s easy to carry in hand or rest quietly
beside a glass of wine. Delivered in a breathable cotton–linen dustbag, with the option to add a detachable
gold-toned aluminium chain (1 m length) during check-out.
