Title Red Aka Hexie

Inspired by tradition. Designed for everyday creative 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, lunch, or special gifts—with character and beauty.

This version features a striking vintage Japanese wool with a geometric hexagon motif woven into a richly textured red ground. The design, often symbolic of longevity and strength in Japanese culture, feels both rooted and refreshingly modern. Like all the vintage wools in this collection, this fabric is rare deadstock—sourced directly from Japan in limited quantities.

The deep red wool pairs beautifully with a navy cotton/linen accent and natural muslin lining, creating a timeless palette that works for gifting or everyday use.

Use your traditional komebukuro (rice pouch) for:

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

What’s included:

  • Exterior Fabric (Feature): 10" x 14" vintage wool with red hexagon motif (deadstock, Japan)

  • Exterior Fabric (Complementary): 16" x 21" cotton
