Details
This clutch bag has been made from a vintage obi belt.

This clutch was made by Megumi Matsumura.  Megumi is a Japanese kimono seamstress based in Kyushu, a southern island of Japan. She hand-picks high-quality vintage obi to create the bags, meaning that each one is completely unique.

Clutch bags like these were originally called Sukiya bukuro in Japan. Sukiya bukuro are small purses in which accessories relating to the Japanese tea ceremony are kept. Usually, sukiya bukuro are made from silk woven fabric and sizes vary depending on their final use.
