Handcrafted Interweaving
The signature Pasticcino Boule clasps have been reimagined by a craftsman of the Bottega Nakamori-Kumihimo, which has been handcrafting obijime and haori cords for four generations since its establishment in 1927. Each clasp is meticulously made with precious threads swathed around the ball in contrasting hues to create an eye-catching graphic effect.

The bags are available in six variants and two sizes, each crafted in luxurious fabrics that depict unique patterns in delicate pastels, shades of matte gold, rust, and caramel. And each design has a story to tell: a pale pink floral pattern symbolizes fertility and life; flowers and birds form stunning arabesques; a revisitation of a 1905 motif has imperial inspirations; a bouquet of peonies, roses, and buttercups is at once delicate and ornate.The painterly nuances of the linings also evoke the interiors of kimonos.
