This bag was made using old Japanese indigo-dyed cloth, with the design inspired by bags used by postal workers.

The flap is made from vintage indigo-dyed cotton fabric woven between the Taisho and early Showa periods.

Most vintage Japanese fabrics are plain weave, but this fabric is a rare indigo-dyed twill weave, and has a deep look that is unique to that time. The colors are beautiful, and it really gives off the atmosphere of an older era.

The vintage cloth used for the main body is indigo-dyed cotton from the early Showa period.

The fabric is tightly woven and sturdy, and the indigo color is still deep. The more you use it, the more it will become a part of your life, and you can enjoy the tasteful changes that occur over time.

The lining is made of old cotton fabric with a lovely checkered pattern, allowing the texture of the outer fabric to be fully utilized.

In addition, all the other small parts are made using old cloth.

The buttons on the flap and the small pocket that opens when the flap is opened are made from old Japanese wood buttons dyed with ink, and the inner pockets use old shell buttons.

The buttonholes and bar studs are hand-sewn to match the feel of the old fabric, giving it a warmth that cannot be achieved by machine.

The shoulder strap is designed to be fastened by passing it through a hole and tying it. You can adjust the length to your liking by changing the position of the knot.

Compared to today's affluent times, the texture of fabrics born in harsh times when people were poor and had nothing but what was normal in the world is completely different. You can feel the unique atmosphere of that era, which you couldn't create even if you wanted to, and I think Japanese fabrics are wonderful, elaborate fabrics that can be proudly shown to the world. Please try and feel the fabric that has been reborn as a bag.

Why not try incorporating some good old things that are no longer available in modern times into your daily life?

*This piece was sewn using an old treadle sewing machine. You may not notice it at first glance, but I hope you enjoy the loose stitches that can only be achieved by hand, not by electric.

*The fabric is nearly 100 years old. To ensure you can enjoy it for many years to come, we recommend washing it in a soaking wash and gently spin-drying it in a laundry net.
