Roughly-woven hemp double-azuma bag, small (plant-dyed)
This fabric is made in Enshu using 100% hemp yarn produced by Italian manufacturer Linificio for the warp and weft threads, and is densely woven. After weaving, the fabric is air tumbled at high temperature and pressure to knead and loosen the fibres, resulting in a natural surface and fluffy finish. Hemp is a strong fibre, but as it ages it gradually becomes more comfortable against the skin, and you can enjoy watching it change from hemp to a cotton-like texture. For the history of hemp cloth, see the article by Shinichiro Yoshida, Director of the Modern Linen Cloth Research Institute , and for the differences between hemp, ramie, and flax, see Boeken 's article.
*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 fibre 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 colour transfer, avoid using with light-coloured items, wash with a neutral detergent, and dry in the shade. Sweat and light may cause discolouration, so please handle with care and store in an area exposed to sunlight or fluorescent lights for long periods of time. (Walnut)
*Dyed with natural indigo. The colour will become lighter with repeated use. As there is a possibility of colour transfer, avoid using with light-coloured items at first, wash with a neutral detergent, and dry in the shade. The colour and size of each item may vary slightly. (Indigo, Indigo x Walnut)
