"Nishijin" is the north-west part of Kyoto city, and "ori" means fabric weaving. Nishijin-ori is very high quality silk fabric woven in this area of Kyoto. Nishijin-ori is elegant as well as durable. This traditional weaving technique dated back one thousand years ago, and Nishijin-ori has been traditionally used for women's Kimono belts. Nowadays, Nishijin-ori is utilized for men's neckties and various interior & fashion items. We hope you will enjoy the elegant touch.
The wallet is manufactured by Nishijin SEGAWA Textiles, Co. Ltd. The fabric motifs are inspired by the Asuka period (6 - 7th centuries) designs.
