Sacoche - KIMONO

This sacoche is crafted using traditional techniques to dye kimono fabric, resulting in elegant and refined silk. The outer fabric is made from "Tango chirimen," a luxurious silk textile with a history of approximately 300 years, primarily produced in the Tango region of Kyoto Prefecture. It features a characteristic grid-like texture, making it supple and flexible with deep, rich colors after dyeing.

Available in three colors, each dyed by hand using traditional techniques by artisans such as traditional craftsmen. It features two outer zippers and two convenient inner pockets, perfectly sized to hold a smartphone and other small items. Its compact size makes it ideal for carrying small essentials while on the go without the need for a larger bag.

Suitable for both traditional kimono attire and Western clothing, this sacoche is versatile and suitable for both men and women.

Gradient Dye (Ginnezu):
Incorporating traditional kimono dyeing techniques, this sacoche is dyed using the "gradient dyeing" technique, known as "bokashi-zome," with a brush to create a gray gradient effect. The "bokashi-zome" involves stretching the fabric on a frame, applying dye with a brush, and pulling the fabric to create a smooth transition of colors. Experienced artisans carefully dye each piece.

Shibori Tie-Dye (Tetsukon):
Incorporating another traditional kimono dyeing technique, this sacoche is dyed using the "shibori" tie-dye method known as "tsuchinoko shibori." Traditional craftsmen carefully dye the silk fabric, folding and tying it to create intricate patterns resembling the tracks of a "tsuchinoko" (a mythical snake-like creature).

Shibori Tie-Dye (Umimatsu):
Also incorporating traditional kimono dyeing techniques, this sacoche is dyed using the "shibori" tie-dye method known as "kago-zome." Traditional craftsmen dye the silk fabric to create a tie-dye pattern reminiscent of waves.

These sacochees showcase the skill and artistry of traditional craftsmen while offering a unique and stylish accessory for everyday use.
