Care

Professional dry clean only. Store away from prolonged direct sunlight to preserve the vintage textile.

An obi (帯) is a belt of varying size and shape worn with the kimono. Originating as a simple thin belt, the obi developed over time into a garment with many different styles, proportions and methods of tying. Traditionally worn as part of Japanese dress, obi textiles are often richly woven with symbolic motifs and intricate craftsmanship.

Koi Girl handbags and accessories are made from authentic vintage obi and kimonos sourced directly from Japan. These textiles carry histories through their colours, motifs and craftsmanship, with many designs holding traditional symbolism within Japanese culture. Each piece is thoughtfully transformed into a contemporary wearable accessory while preserving the beauty of the original textile.
