ANTIQUE KIMONO FABRIC PORTFOLIOS

LARGE PORTFOLIO WITH GOLD PHOENIX DESIGN

Copyright 2007 - 2004 by Oriental Arts Group, All Rights Reserved.

The fabrics are mainly silk with hand painted sections, and pieces stitched with silver and gold threads. A number of different fabrics are combined in each purse for a truly unique design. And to further add to the dimensional quality of each fabric, Loredana has adorned each bag with a variety of unusual artifacts such as carved jade pieces, silver beads, carved bone figures, Chinese bronze coins, just to mention a few. The smaller "wearable" pouches come with beaded ropes to facilitate wearing the bag around your waist.
 
These are exclusive "one of a kind" pieces, beautifully constructed and professionally finished, with each piece signed by the artist.
 
In this listing we are offering a stunning and beautifully colored representation of a golden Phoenix on a dramatic black background, all in silk.  Both the Phoenix and leaf patterns are embroidered in gold and silver threads, and there is painted gold accents as well. The front is further enhanced with a Tortise Shell artifact.  This is a large and very dramatic piece! It is both an elegant personal fashion statement, and  a striking addition to accessorize any outfit.
 
NOTE: On the left hand border, there is a stitching anomaly from the fabric's previous use which we feel adds to the geometric design of the portfolio.
 
 
 

 
Dimensions:  16" Long,  12.5" High,  1.25" depth.

This is a piece of history reflecting the cultural merger of East and West, recycled in a hand-crafted purse, presenting a fusion of ancient tradition with modern times. Because these are made of fabrics that were worn at one time, there is some indications of use on some of the fabrics. These are in all cases very subtle and do not detract from the overall look of the bag.
