[feature] Quist Chan

Quist-chan is a regular customer of onigirifactory and it has been a pleasure getting to know her as a friend as well. She has often ordered special customized designs for her projects as well and it gives me great happiness to see her satisfied with her kanzashi.


With a customized layered ume kanzashi with golden bells.


She was also the first customer to purchase a kinchaku from me :)

Recently I have also made a customized kanzashi for her upon her request, and after ordering the materials from Japan and working on it, I have finally sent it to her today for she needs it by the 6th of June. I hope to see many pictures of her in costume with her kanzashi!

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.

- 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 :

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!
