The Story Behind ObiBag: Where Japanese Heritage Meets Modern Elegance
At ObiBag, every clutch tells a story — not just of fashion, but of history. Each piece is handcrafted in Japan using vintage kimono obi, the ornate sash traditionally worn around a kimono.
These fabrics aren’t just beautiful; they carry decades of tradition. By repurposing obi fabric into timeless bags, we give new life to materials that would otherwise be forgotten. Every thread is woven with meaning, from ceremonial gold embroidery to seasonal motifs like cherry blossoms and cranes.
Our process is rooted in slow fashion — careful, intentional, and deeply respectful of the culture these fabrics come from. No two bags are alike. Each one is a one-of-a-kind piece of wearable art.
ObiBag is more than an accessory. It’s heritage, preserved in elegance.
