Kumihimo Pouch (Bamboo/Floral) by Georganne Alex

This elegant, lightly padded zippered pouch would make an attractive clutch or carrying case all on its own and is small enough to fit into a larger bag to keep your things organized. Features a decorative, woven kumihimo cord.

Fully lined pouch measures 7" x 6", cord/zipper pull is 7". Made from upcycled vintage kimono fabric.

About the maker: Personality, culture, history, and art are woven into the vintage material that Santa Barbara, CA-based designer Georganne Alex has chosen for her line of accessories and clothing. Nowhere is this more apparent than in her use of the Japanese kimono, a primary source of inspiration and design in Georganne’s work.

Known for her flat weaving of kimono fabric, Georganne has been perfecting her craft for four decades. She practices both on-loom and off-loom weaving which makes her work a fusion of techniques as well as fabrications.

A committed environmentalist, she enjoys working with existing materials from previously worn garments because it is an ecologically responsible way to design. A “Georganne Alex” design is infused with a timeless elegance that will tell stories for generations.
