A Kokura-ori zip pouch created in Fukuoka Prefecture.
This pouch, with two playful pom-poms tied to the zip, 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. A gusseted design allows for plenty of space to keep small belongings such as stationery or make-up neatly organized.
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.
