Inspired by tradition. Designed for use in your everyday life.

Bring heritage craftsmanship to life with this curated supply pack, designed to help you create a Japanese-style drawstring pouch known as a komebukuro. Once used to carry offerings of rice, these pouches now carry practical things like craft projects. 

This version features a richly striped, vintage Japanese wool—deadstock sourced directly from Japan—paired with textured cotton and linen fabrics that echo classic workwear. Whether you’re hand-stitching with care or assembling by machine, this bundle gives you everything you need to make a functional, beautiful pouch.

Use your traditional komebukuro (rice pouch) for: 

  • A craft project bag that holds a small-ish sweater or embroidery project with an 8" hoop.
  • A modern handbag with heritage flair
  • A thoughtful gift bag
