I am in love with these gorgous handbags and throw pillows by Alison Gledhill of Grace Design! The designer is from Canada and makes these creations out of vintage obi and kimono fabric. Alison even custom laser cuts the wooden handles herself! Gorgeous. I will take one of each please! Oh, and did I mention these pieces are actually affordable! Score!

Thank you for providing the perspective. I just read a part of the article, so I don't know much what to say. Good luck for the new member!

The kimono pillow is creatively designed! It closely resembles a real kimono. It's perfect for people who love the Japanese culture. I applaud whoever thought of that design. It's better if there are more cuddly colors like green and sky blue, right?

Kimono pillow is so sweet and gorgeous colours.
