Komebukuro Pouch Supplies, Heritage Ed. - Plum Chrysanthemum Burst (wool)
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, lunch, or gifts—with character and beauty.
This version features a plum-toned vintage wool, stencil dyed with a delicate allover kiku burst motif—tiny white dots radiating outward like chrysanthemums in bloom. The fabric is both traditional and quietly modern, bridging old and new with graphic simplicity. As with all vintage deadstock, the supply is limited—once it’s gone, it’s gone.
Paired with crisp cotton/linen and soft muslin lining, this bundle includes everything you need to make a keepsake pouch worth using (and reusing) for years to come.
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
