Kokon Tozai


I went with SokEe to shop at City Hall after our dinner 2 days ago. We came across this shop call Kokon Tozai. It means Past & Present and East & West in Japanese. They sell products such as bags, purses, pouches, hand phone/tissue /name card holder, shoe, blouse and skirts made by Japanese silk kimono fabric. They also sell crystal acrylic items such as earring, ring, bracelet, hair pin, etc. These items are created by sealing kimono fabric inside the crystal acrylic. I bought a hand phone pouch and a sling bag from my Hokkaido trip. They are also unique as they are also made from some kind of fabric. (Dun think is kimono fabric). Although the price is not cheap, I still buy a ring for myself and a hair pin (not sure whats the actual name) for my sister as her birthday present. The ring cost $19.90 & the hair pin cost $31.10 both after 20% discount. Since the fabric used are cut from various parts of the kimono, each item is different & unique.
