If you are about to buy a handbag made with Pre-WWII vintage Japanese kimono fabric, does it have to be silk?
I am starting handbag manufacturing & retailing business in the future. I am currently working on a handbag collection that is made with pre-WWII vintage Japanese kimono obi sash fabric from 1910's thru 1930's. I have found many beautiful vintage kimono fabrics, but they tend to be rayon and silk & synthetic blend. Silk ones are sort of dull unless they are very expensive. This is because Japan was #1 producer of rayon during that time in history. It does accurately portray historical aspect of the textile. However, I can already anticipate some sort of hang-ups by American customers because the bags are not made with vintage silk material. To what degree does it matter whether your handbag is made of silk or rayon/synthetic. Does the Pre-WWII vintage outweigh rayon textile, or silk is a must? Also if you can tell me your gender & age, that will help. Thanks.
honestly as long as the purse is pretty, i really dont give a damn. i know enough about history to know that japan did a lot with rayon at that time so that doesnt bother me (my father is a walking talking history book)
