The Stitch Bag from artist Ko Soda is an exercise in wabi-sabi - finding beauty in the imperfect. Every bag is crafted from pieces of supple, natural leather with the raw edges and freeform inspiration of its creator plain to see.

Please note: Each individual Stitch Bag is handmade and therefore unique. Photos demonstrate the general design of each piece, but the final product may differ somewhat in color. The high quality and elegant design of Ko Soda's work are uniform across every bag, however. Please contact us at info@rikumo.com with any product inquiries.

SIWA Tote Bag Medium
$ 102.00 USD
The SIWA Tote Bag is a straightforward design made entirely from resilient Naoron paper. The beauty of this bag is in the rich fading and creasing that develops through regular use. Each bag features a single exterior pouch.

About Higonokami Knives
In the 19th century, a blacksmith in Kyushu is said to have added a simple lever to a basic pocket knife to help open and close the blade more easily. The knife proved to be successful and a guild was formed to oversee the manufacturing of the knife. Only those belonging to the guild could manufacture the knife and use the respected name of Higo No Kami. The term "Higo no Kami" means "Lord of Higo" in Japanese, in honor of the Lord of Kyushu. Today, each higonokami knife is still handmade by the last remaining maker in the guild, Nagao Seisakusho.

About Tsukihihoshi
In the early 20th century, the country of Japan planted large swathes of cedar and cypress trees to help increase their domestic timber industry. Unfortunately, these non-native varieties made it difficult for native deciduous trees to grow reducing food sources for wildlife and increasing the chance of landslides in the process. Today, Tsukihoshi repurposes these trees into beautiful objects that take on a second life in the city.
