Oshidori Silk Brocade Leather Wallet

Why We Love It

This silk brocade leather women's wallet features the faithful restoration of an ancient Japanese textile from the 8th century. The highly regarded original fabric is kept in a heritage repository at the Todaiji temple in Nara.

The sumptuous silk exterior of this wallet is called nishiki, which employs as many as ten weft threads of different colors to achieve the arabesque tapestry with elaborate mandarin duck design. The silk is woven exclusively in Kyoto, the premier center of silk production in Japan, and is renowned for its particularly luxurious feel.

This handcrafted practical women’s wallet is lined with high-quality leather. The organized interior contains a bills-and-receipts compartment, 4 card slots, and a secure zipped pocket to store loose change, carefully designed to maximize space while retaining a slim proportion.

Founded in 1894, the award-winning Tatsumura Textile is Kyoto’s esteemed leader in world-class silk brocades. Their enduring efforts in preserving and revitalizing ancient Japanese textiles have made them one of the most respected companies in the field, with commissions from the Japanese Imperial Household and Christian Dior.
