I purchased this kimono at a recycle shop. I disassembled it, washed it (in a washing machine with delicate detergent), and ironed it. Then, I folded the collar and the okumi (the front panels) and remade it into a pochette. Please use your own shoulder strap. Stains, creases, and discoloration from when I purchased it remain. This is a handmade item. I hope that those who understand this will purchase it. This item is not eligible for the repeat customer discount. Please read my profile. ^_^
