A slim and light Japanese paper bag that can also hold A3 size documents
A tote bag made from Japanese paper of the SIWA brand, designed by the dye artist "Yunoki Saburo."

Without feeling heavy, it is so comfortable that you forget you are carrying a bag, reducing the burden on your shoulders and arms even on days when you carry a lot.
Compact when not in use
Because of its flawless flat design, it can be folded and stored slimly without any hassle when not in use.
It is active as a sub-bag for commuting, going out, or travel, and does not cause trouble wherever you go.
Soft texture and comfortable workmanship
The texture is gentle and soft, and thanks to the double-layer structure of the paper bag and the carefully woven fibers, it is sturdy and well-made.
The bag includes an inner pocket convenient for storing small items. You can easily take out frequently used items like passes, smartphones, and keys.
For walks, shopping, or work. The more you use it, the deeper the texture and the more you will love this exquisite product.
Natural material combining the beauty and softness of Japanese paper
The "Naoron" material used in the tote bag is a unique SIWA (Japanese paper) material that brings out the texture of Japanese paper while adding strength and water resistance.
It is light and soft, comfortable to hold in your hand, and offers peace of mind for everyday use.
The more you use it, the deeper the texture of SIWA becomes, and its charm is enjoying changes over the years like a leather product.
It is also strong against water, so you can feel safe even on rainy days. The load capacity is up to 10kg, so you can carry heavy items securely.
