NEW! Chirimen Kinchaku

These chirimen kinchaku are delicately handcrafted with love and care with the highest quality of chirimen fabric! Chirimen fabric shrinks when it comes in contact with water so the utmost care must be taken when using these kinchakus. The fabric has an uneven texture and gold embellishments. Golden bells are included.

Three chirimen fabrics are available for these chirimen kinchakus :

- Usagi and Sakura on PURPLE
- Layered Sakura Petals on PURPLE
- Manjuu Usagi and Sakura on PINK SOLD OUT

Base : Approximately 4.7in x 4.7in
Height : Approximately 5.5in

(Measurements may differ slightly on each bag because it's handmade therefore the measurements are not always the same. But I assure you the measurements match the numbers given above)

RM50 each (golden bells included)

USAGI AND SAKURA - PURPLE





Beautiful texture of the chirimen!



MANJUU USAGI AND SAKURA - PINK



Lovely texture of the fabric!



No pictures available for Layered Sakura Petals on PURPLE. The fabric has been shown previously in the tissue pouches :



NOTE : The colour of the strings on the kinchaku can be changed to either white or purple (for the purple fabric) and white or red (for the pink fabric).

Please email me at plue_87[at]hotmail.com if you are interested! I welcome all enquiries ^^

Thank you and have a delicious day!

NEW! Kawaii Tissue Pouches

^_^ I have added to the range of Japanese fabric products today! Below are some kawaii tissue pouches, 100% handmade from quality Japanese fabrics!

[IMAGE-HEAVY POST]


There are two types of tissue pouches :

- cotton pouches = RM10 each
- chirimen pouches = RM15 each

Please do keep in mind that CHIRIMEN SHRINK WHEN IN CONTACT WITH WATER, so if you get it wet I cannot guarantee you it will still be in good condition - so do be careful with it! That having been said, the texture is lovely and there are gold thread/lines on the chirimen fabric.

Layered Sakura - PURPLE (CHIRIMEN)



This beautiful chirimen tissue pouch is soft to the touch and have a touch of golden petals on it. The color might be a bit off, but it's purple, which blends into circles of white.

Usagi & Sakura - PURPLE (CHIRIMEN)



This is also chirimen like the pouch above, but the purple is a bit lighter. The color in this picture is kind of weird, sorry! But I can assure you it's purple, with lots of gold printing ^_^

Kimono Usagi - BEIGE (COTTON)



Little bunnies in kimono gowns on a traditional Japanese hexagon design with gold lines ^^

Jumping Usagi - RED (COTTON)) SOLD OUT



Typical Japanese-like pattern with cute jumping rabbits in white on a dark red cotton fabric.

Matsuri - WINE RED (COTTON)




Do email me if you're interested, there is only one available for each of the tissue pouches!

Thank you and have a delicious day!

There are a few new kinchaku patterns up for grabs, and two old ones that I've completed! Do email me at plue_87[at]hotmail.com if you're interested. I'm on MSN too ^_^

Bon Odori is coming in a month or two's time, are you ready with your yukata and accessories? >w< I'm looking forward to it too!



Wave of Flowers - PINK) SOLD OUT

This traditional looking fabric is a delicate shade of pink and has flowers scattered on waves. Feminine and sweet at the same time!



Little Plovers - LIGHT BLUE) SOLD OUT

The plover ("chidori" in Japanese) is a traditional Japanese bird, and is used as the symbol of the Pontocho geisha area in Kyoto. Small adorable clovers decorate this subdued looking fabric of light blue!



Maneki Neko - WINE RED

The Maneki Neko, or beckoning cat, is seen as a symbol of good luck and is a big part of life in Japan. The dark wine color of the fabric brings out the brightness of the cats and looks cute with golden bells too!


These two kinchaku were made from bubble-textured Japanese cotton with patterns of adorable kingyo (goldfish)!


Orange background. The strings used are red and golden bells are attached.

A special price can be given if both kinchaku are purchased at once ^_^
