This listing is for a full bolt of traditional Japanese fabric intended to be made into an obi sash. These bolts are wonderfully versatile (and reversible!) - they can be as a kimono belt, unrolled as an elegant table runner, or repurposed into entirely new creations.

A warm glow of orange silk opens this vintage obi fabric bolt, immediately drawing the eye with its elegant tone-on-tone jacquard of flowing vines and leaves. The design runs the full length of the bolt, allowing the subtle botanical pattern to emerge and recede as the light moves across the surface.

Light fading along on side and a visible fold line from the past use adds honest character and speaks to its history without diminishing its beauty.

The fabric is a thick weave that is both pliable and sturdy – perfect for being tied into an elaborate bow at the back of a kimono, and just a perfect as table or wall décor. Plenty of fabric to convert into home décor (pillows!) or an elegant jacket or coat…?
