Sash Belts

Women sash belts or Obis are used for Japanese Kimono. The Sash belt or an Obi is used to hold or tighten the kimono at the waist.

Sash belts are a rare apparel and are only worn on special occasions. They make a woman look beautiful and attractive and these belts are efficient in catching the public attention in any ceremony.

Sash belts are a band of cloth or a ribbon worn around the waist to support the Kimono. These are a perfect form of fashion wear for rare but important occasions.

There are also formal Sash or Obi belts which are usually 4 meters long and 60 centimeters in width. The band is folded into half and then wrapped twice around the waist to wear as a formal attire.

The casual sash belts could be 10 centimeters narrow or 30 centimeters wide.
