Red silk phone purse with shibori design.

This 5 inch by 8 inch purse is light weight and convenient to carrying just the essentials--your cell phone, credit card and keys.  The silk is from a shibori vintage kimono.  Shibori is  an ancient art form that requires a lot of time and unique skills.  Tiny pinches of silk are hand tied to create dye resistant patterns.  This purse contains hundreds of such pinches.
