Crafted from a single piece of fabric folded and sewn to create multiple internal compartments, preserving the original selvedge. Features a total of 7 storage openings: 1 main compartment and 6 hidden pockets. Designed for hand-carrying or shoulder wear, with a reflective fabric tag, and reversible for dual-sided use. Enhanced with persimmon dye. Persimmon Dyeing A traditional natural dyeing technique involving two stages. In the first stage, the fabric is immersed in the dye. I use a brush-dyeing method, first outlining the desired pattern and then coloring it stroke by stroke. The second stage involves sun-drying. The longer the fabric is exposed to sunlight, the deeper the color becomes. For each color, I typically sun-dry for three days. These stages are repeated multiple times to achieve the intended effect. Finally, a mordant can be applied to add more depth and layers to the color. Considering each side with one layer of color, the average production time for one bag is 12 days (excluding rainy days). Materials: 100% Cotton. Hand wash and machine wash safe. Do not bleach.
