Crafted by artisans, V.D.L.C. bags feature a simple design that complements various aspects of daily life. Canvas, often perceived as stiff and heavy, is transformed through a unique weaving process into a lightweight and soft 100% cotton bag. Each bag is meticulously and sturdily constructed with the sentiment, "We want to be a long-lasting companion in everyone's life." Its durability and washability offer peace of mind, ensuring it can always be kept clean. It subtly supports your everyday life, and with continued use, it will evolve into a unique item that is exclusively yours. ◆ Things you should know V.D.L.C. fabric, woven on shuttle looms rather than mass-production machines, is characterized by its "lightness," "softness," and a natural texture that ages beautifully, developing a unique character over time rather than deteriorating. Woven on shuttle looms over 100 years old in Kurashiki, the fabric inevitably develops occasional "weaving flaws," which may appear as small imperfections or "loose threads." While these are unavoidable with the use of vintage machinery, we make every effort to minimize their visibility. This includes rigorous inspections at the factory, careful placement during cutting, and utilizing them in less conspicuous areas when found. However, due to the nature of the machinery, complete elimination is not possible. We kindly ask that you embrace these weaving flaws as an integral part of the fabric's charm, a testament to its creation on antique shuttle looms.
