me by Issey MiyakeGrapes Reticule

me by Issey Miyake, summer 2007
5’’ diameter x 5 ½”—7” h. (stretches with contents)

This amazing little reticule is another example of Issey Miyake’s unrivaled ability to manipulate fabric to create volume. A shibori technique has been used to magically transform black polyester chiffon into an ethereal bunch of grapes! The pouch is lined with teal crepe de chine, which gives a glow to the “grapes.”

My dear friend and fellow Issey devotee gave me this treasure for my birthday. She purchased it at the Madison Avenue Issey Miyake store.
