Canvas Tote Bag / Apron
収穫袋のようなバッグ
A multifunctional bag made in Sabae, Fukui Prefecture, designed to transform from a tote to an apron by unfolding. It supports multiple activities, from harvesting produce to carrying art supplies.
This multifunctional bag, inspired by a farmer’s harvest bag, transforms from a tote to an apron, flexibly adapting to different situations. The design features a rigid main opening that stays propped open for easy collection of produce. When unfolded, it becomes a long central pocket with an opening at the bottom to unload the collected items. In this form, the top strap can be worn around the neck, allowing the bag to be used as an apron. When folded, the apron straps function as handles, transforming it back into a useful tote bag.
This versatile item is produced by notame., a brand that brings the utilitarian functionality of tools into daily life, in collaboration with a tote bag maker in Sabae, Fukui Prefecture.
Folded : W43cm×H40cm

The region's history has been shaped by its strategic position between the great cities of Kyoto and Tokyo with Nagoya at its heart. Niigata lies to the north while Mt Fuji can be found in the south in Shizuoka Prefecture.
