This is a handmade item I purchased from an artist before. I believe it uses old silk kimono fabric, so I don't think it's washable. It's the perfect size for a smartphone. It's a great size, lightweight, and one-of-a-kind. How about pairing it with Japanese clothing or a yukata? It's also great for children's kimono bags or as a gift for someone from abroad. I bought it because I liked it, but I haven't had a chance to use it, so I've been storing it.
