Inspired by tradition. Designed for your everyday creative life.

Bring a heritage design 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 beautifully textured vintage silk from Japan, patterned with flowing ochre waves and delicate white flecks. Soft to the touch yet surprisingly durable, the silk lends an elevated elegance to the finished bag—perfect for gifting or special outings. Sourced as deadstock, this rare silk is available in limited quantities.

A pair of subtly textured linen-cotton fabric and a cotton muslin lining provide strength and structure without stealing the show. The included persimmon-dyed sashiko thread complements the silk perfectly for decorative topstitching or hand-finished details.

Use your traditional komebukuro (rice pouch) for:

  • A travel bag for small handcrafts or on-the-go essentials
  • A stylish accessory with heritage charm
  • A reusable gift wrap that becomes part of the present
