They're not Japanese. (okay, the beads are Japanese.) They're a pretty little geometric pattern I was tinkering with. But when seven of my first ten customers pick it up and go "oooh, what a pretty kimono design!" I say "yes ma'am, I'm glad you like the kimono".

So here's the kimono amulet bag. It measures about 1.5 inches wide by 2 inches long, with an opera-length strap and a charm hidden inside. These are created by folding over a single strip of woven beads, giving them a smooth, sleek profile that's a perfect match for fuzzy sweaters or button-down shirts. I can customize colors and charms to fit any taste, so let me know if you have a specific idea in mind!
