Domestic wild grape vines, shoulder strap (1.5cm wide) made of cowhide leather, drawstring bag (100% cotton)
Vine width: about 6mm
This floral woven pouch made from wild grape vines becomes more lustrous and softer with use, becoming more familiar to the user. Even among baskets, floral weaving is a highly coveted craft, requiring time and skill to create. The detachable drawstring pouch is dyed with a liquid made from boiled wild grape vines, and the string features a cute pompom design.
The material is made from wild grape vines that have endured the harsh winds and snow of Tohoku and that producers risk their lives to collect, so it is resistant to water and dryness, and even if it gets wet in the rain, it will return to its original shape just by drying it.
Furthermore, the vines of domestically grown wild grapes are so strong that they can be used for a long time while their flavor improves. Wild grape vines can be easily used for 50 years, making them truly a lifetime product that can be enjoyed by generations to come.

Please place in a well-ventilated area.
Also, do not use oily substances such as walnut oil to speed up the polishing process. To achieve a beautiful shine, rubbing it with your hands or polishing it with a scrubbing brush is also effective.
Reliable aftercare in case of an emergency!
This bag has a tag on the inside with the craftsman's name and serial number.
Looking at it, you can see in detail the process that went into making this bag. Because wild grape vines are very strong, it's rare that something will go wrong, but if even a small part of the bag needs repair, you can use this serial number to make the repair go smoothly, so you can have peace of mind!

The more wild grape vines are used, the more flexible they become and the more beautiful their luster becomes. It makes me happy when customers come to show me how much their bags have developed. We go into the mountains of Tohoku to collect the sturdy wild grapes that are unique to Japan, and then we make each bag carefully and with all our heart. We hope that customers will enjoy the amazing qualities of this genuine material.
