Persimmon-Dyed Shoulder Bag – Handwoven & Naturally Strengthened

Crafted with care, this shoulder bag is made from organic cotton, naturally dyed using traditional persimmon tannin (kakishibu). This ancient Japanese dye deepens in color over time when exposed to sunlight, a process called “Ohisama-zome” (sun-dyeing). The repeated dyeing and sun-drying not only enhance its rich, earthy tone but also strengthen the fabric, making it highly durable.

The design incorporates hand-spun, handwoven fabric, adding a unique, artisanal touch. The inner lining is also organic cotton, ensuring a fully sustainable construction. With a double-layered fabric structure, the bag features built-in pockets for added functionality.

With a spacious yet practical size of 33cm (height) × 36cm (width) × 16cm (depth) and a comfortable 96cm shoulder strap, it’s perfect for everyday use.

Designed using Sewingman Patterns, this bag blends Japanese tradition, eco-conscious craftsmanship, and practical design—perfect for those who value sustainability and timeless style.
