Hana of Kitano

Hana of Kitano creates one-of-one bags in Kobe, Japan, using carefully selected sections of genuine vintage Japanese obi. Each obi carries its own history, character and the craftsmanship of the artisans who created it. We work slowly and with respect, allowing the character of each obi to guide the finished piece rather than designing over it. Once a section has been chosen and used, it will never be repeated. Every Hana of Kitano bag is genuinely one of one. Designed to be remembered, not noticed.　華愛　• info@hanaofkitano.com • For those unfamiliar with the Japanese obi, we have included this short film from the Victoria and Albert Museum. 英語/English.
