This is an original Mikan, designed and handcrafted in Japan. It is made of antique obi silk, the large belt traditionally worn with a kimono.
Editors' notes:
The pattern represents cranes in a pine garden. The bag is covered with a water-resistant coating which gives it a wet effect and will help the bag resist stains and avoid wear. Beautifully made, study zipper, quality craftsmanship!

About the brand:
The founder, Clementine, believes that if people experience transforming something old into an object as beautiful as one they would buy, they will undeniably consider consumption and waste differently.
Deeply inspired by natural elements, the hands-on creative hopes to share her passion for upcycling, as well as support an element of tradition to evolve and, thus survive, in modern times.
