Persimmon-Dyed Patchwork Shoulder Bag – Sustainable & Handcrafted

This eco-friendly shoulder bag is made from organic cotton, naturally dyed using traditional persimmon tannin (kakishibu). This unique dye deepens in color over time when exposed to sunlight, a process known as “Ohisama-zome” (sun-dyeing). The repeated dyeing and sun-drying enhance its rich, earthy tone while also strengthening the fabric, making it highly durable.

The bag features a beautiful patchwork design, incorporating hand-spun, handwoven organic cotton for a unique artisanal touch. By using fabric scraps, this design minimizes waste, making it a sustainable and earth-friendly choice.

A clever layered fabric structure creates built-in pockets, adding both functionality and style. Designed with Sewingman Patterns, this bag blends traditional craftsmanship with modern practicality.

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

A thoughtful fusion of Japanese tradition, sustainability, and timeless style.
