Potato bag｜Galaxy group
A cute bag with a round shape that resembles a potato.
The round bottom allows plenty of space for your belongings, making it easy to put in and take out, making it practical.
The bag is made from makumo's original fabric. Not only the sewing, but also the fabric design and dyeing are done by hand, and the unique patterns and color schemes can only be found here.
The casually scattered stars of all sizes look like a real galaxy. It is a simple yet impressive design.
User-friendly
The potato bag is a large size with a mouth width of 40cm and a height of 30cm. It is made of durable canvas fabric (cotton), so you can feel safe even if you put a lot of luggage in it.
Another great feature is that the opening has a zipper to protect the contents.
The shoulder straps are wrapped in quilted cotton, making it comfortable to hold.
The length can be adjusted, so you can use it as a tote bag or a shoulder bag.
Cherish playfulness
The inside of the bag is bright light blue.
Every time you put in or take out your luggage, your heart suddenly gets excited - that sense of fun is hidden inside the bag.
It also has an inner pocket, so you can neatly store small items.
It all starts with the design of the fabric.
The base material is pure white canvas.
makumo's bags start with the design of the fabric.
Designer Fukuyama started makumo after graduating from the dyeing department at an art school and gaining experience in paper cutting. The patterns and color schemes created by her hands are vibrant and unique, with a pop yet nostalgic retro feel.
The difference in facial expressions that comes from handiwork
Mr. Araki is the one who brings Mr. Fukuyama's designs to life.
The technique used is "hand printing/silk screen". A mold is made for each color, and a large spatula called a squeegee is used to imprint the dye onto the fabric, carefully layering each color one by one.
The fabrics dyed in this way have slightly different expressions even with the same design, creating depth and warmth that cannot be achieved with digital printing.
After going through multiple steps, the finished fabric is transformed into a potato bag by the hands of a seamstress.

■Handling precautions
As they are all made by hand, there may be slight individual differences in size and pattern. Enjoy the different expressions of each item.
There may be ``unevenness'' or ``fading'' that is unique to hand-dyed dyeing. In particular, canvas is a fabric that is prone to variations in color due to the characteristics of the material. We hope you enjoy the unique texture of handmade products.
