Large rough hemp double Azuma bag (grass and tree dark dye)
This fabric is made from 100% hemp yarn produced by Italian manufacturer Linificio, and woven at high density in Enshu. After weaving, the fabric is air tumbled to loosen the fibers at high temperature and pressure, resulting in a natural surface and fluffy finish. Hemp is a strong fiber, but as it ages, it gradually becomes more comfortable against the skin and you can enjoy the change in texture from hemp to cotton. For the history of hemp cloth, see Shinichiro Yoshida, Director of the Modern Linen Research Institute , and for the differences between hemp, ramie, and flax, see Boken 's article. This bag was inspired by the Japanese way of doing things and the spirituality of "tying" and "wrapping," which have been naturally passed down since ancient times. It has a unique design of two connected Azuma bags, and by turning one inside out, the bag becomes double-layered, allowing you to use it separately on the inside and outside. The appeal of this bag is that by adjusting the knot, it can be used in a variety of ways to suit the user, such as by carrying it by hand, over the shoulder, or across the body.
*There are knots and unevenness in the threads that are unique to natural materials. This is because we place importance on texture and use raw materials with uneven fiber lengths, so please consider this as part of the look. Please be careful not to pull on the knots in the threads too hard, as this may cause the threads to break and create holes in the fabric.
*Enjoy the unevenness of the plant dye and the changes that occur over time. To prevent color transfer, avoid using with light-colored items, wash with a neutral detergent, and dry in the shade. Sweat and light may cause discoloration, so please handle with care and store in places exposed to sunlight or fluorescent lights for long periods of time. (Walnut (dark), mugwort (dark), horse chestnut (dark))
*Dyed with natural indigo. The color will become lighter with repeated use. As there is a possibility of color transfer, avoid using with light-colored items at first, wash with a neutral detergent, and dry in the shade. Each item has a slightly different color and size. (Indigo (dark))
*Enjoy the unevenness of plant dyes and how they change over time. To prevent color transfer due to friction, avoid using with light-colored items, wash separately with a neutral detergent, and dry in the shade. Sweat and sunlight can cause discoloration, so please store and handle with care. (Persimmon tannin x red iron oxide, Persimmon tannin x ink, Indigo x turmeric x ink)
