Kimono Drawstring Bag Seigaiha Pattern Lucky Drawstring Pouch

<Unique beauty that brings you happiness, one of a kind in the world> In the past, when people living in Watari, Miyagi Prefecture, gave gifts, they would place them in a "bag" made from remnants of old kimonos. For example, it might have been a 1.8-liter container of rice given as a celebration or a thank-you gift. It had no set name and was called "fuguro," a corruption of the word "fukuro" (bag). "FUGURO" is a remake that recreates this traditional custom. The material is kimono fabric with auspicious patterns, carefully selected from thousands of kimonos stored in wardrobes. Each piece is meticulously handcrafted with a heartfelt wish for the happiness of the person who receives it. We deliver a unique beauty that brings you happiness, by sewing feelings of gratitude and the elegant custom of wrapping and gifting precious items into our products. We use two colors of thread to match the colors of the outer and inner fabrics. Please enjoy the beautiful stitching that is pleasing to the eye. <Seigaiha Pattern> "Skill and Artistry," "Eternity." The waves represent eternity, conveying a wish for prosperity that continues forever. <Japanese Gifts> As the material is kimono fabric, a symbol of Japanese culture, our products are popular as souvenirs for taking overseas or as gifts for foreign visitors. They are compact and convenient to carry. Each product comes with a bilingual (Japanese/English) description. <Versatile Uses> Use it as a bag-in-bag, or as a small pouch for keys or supplements. Fill it with snacks for your refreshing break at the office. Display it as interior decor in your living room. Enjoying thinking of ways to use it is a delightful experience. It can be used in various ways depending on your creativity. It is also reversible. <The Joy of Gazing and Collecting> The kimono fabric with auspicious patterns is a joy to behold, bringing images of happiness just by looking at it. By collecting your favorite pieces, you can create your own personal gallery.

By picking up our creations, kimono fabrics that were sleeping in wardrobes across the country find new roles. We continue our activities with gratitude to our customers who help us expand the cycle of upcycling.

Please note that the pattern placement may differ slightly from the photo due to the cutting position of the fabric. *Please understand that the actual color and texture may appear different from the product photos on your screen. If you have any concerns, please contact us or refrain from purchasing. *Many of the kimono fabrics used as materials are used items, and their materials are often unspecified. We thoroughly inspect and process the fabrics, including washing, before remaking them. Please handle with care, as some fabrics may fade or shrink when wet. *As these items are also sold on other sites, please forgive us in case of a sell-out.
