Kokura Ori Cotton Triangle Bag
シンプルバッグ
A Kokura-ori bag with a distinctive triangular form produced in Fukuoka Prefecture.
This triangular bag is made by KOKURA SHIMA SHIMA INC. from Kokura-ori, a textile of Kitakyushu with a long history. Woven with pre-dyed yarns and a proportionally higher number of warp threads, the fabric has a supple texture and a silky sheen. The sculptural bag is versatile, with a striped design which complements both everyday clothing and kimono. It has a large opening to accommodate many belongings, yet it folds away neatly for travelling.
Textile artist Tsuiki Noriko established KOKURA SHIMA SHIMA INC. to revive and develop this craft. Today, the company creates work ranging from fashion and accessories to architectural installations.
Available in Navy and Black.
