How the Color and Texture Have Changed

When I first started using the bag, the persimmon-dyed fabric was so firm that even tying the cord took some effort. After a year of use, however, it has become surprisingly soft.

The stitching, knots, and edges of the fabric that receive more friction have gradually faded to a lighter color, creating a subtle vintage character that can only come from being used over time.

Watching these changes take place little by little has made me feel even more attached to the bag. I think one of the charms of genuine persimmon-dyed fabric is that you can appreciate not only how it looks when new, but also the character it develops through years of use.

How I Wear It

The natural color makes it easy to pair with a wide range of clothing. With a simple outfit in black or white, it adds just the right touch of color, making it easy to incorporate into everyday wear.
