This is a pendant shaped like a basket, made from wild grape vines.
It is composed of nine flower knots—four on top, three in the middle, and two at the bottom.The handle part of the basket is also carefully made from thin wild grape vine. As this is a natural material, each piece varies slightly in size, color, and texture.From the specifications after June 2024, a decorative flower knot made of wild grape vine has also been added where the leather cord and basket connect.The brown leather cord is adjustable in length.Although it features a flower-knot design, the pendant is thin and not bulky, so it can be worn comfortably under a jacket, scarf, or muffler.Since the beauty of this pendant lies in the visible weave of the wild grape vine, it pairs well with simple linen, cotton, or wool clothing.Depending on your outfit or mood, you can adjust the leather cord to wear it longer or slightly shorter.
Though it isn’t a real handbag, this pendant is a delightful piece that lets you enjoy the charm of a wild grape basket in a casual way.
