Durable and light. New colors “Ash Gray/Ash Rose” are now available from the “2WAY Canvas Mini Tote” which is compact but has plenty of capacity.
*A beautiful canvas tote bag with a focus on elegance and cuteness* “Factory” (managed by Lifestyle Accent Co., Ltd., head office: Kumamoto City) is a made-in-Japan factory-direct fashion brand, founded in 1888, and “Kurashiki Hanpu” in Kurashiki City, Okayama Prefecture, which produces 70% of Japan’s canvas. We have started selling the new colors “Ash Gray” and “Ash Rose” of the jointly developed “2WAY Canvas Mini Tote”.
Kurashiki City, Okayama Prefecture is famous as a production area for canvas. * The 2WAY Canvas Mini Tote was created using durable and lightweight canvas woven by Kurashiki Canvas, which has been operating a factory in Kojima, Kurashiki City for over 130 years.
While taking advantage of the sturdiness and casual texture unique to canvas, we have created a design that can be used for both on and off occasions.

■Even though it’s called “mini,” it has plenty of capacity! Easy to organize ■No. 8 canvas that can be used for a long time*
■Canvas tote bag that goes well with pretty fashion
Many canvas bags have a casual look, but this tote bag has an elegance and cuteness that goes well with neat fashion.
I was particular about.
Metal fittings such as buttons and rivets are made of *shiny gold*, giving it a luxurious feel.
*The wide gusset* gives it a three-dimensional silhouette.
The round shape is very cute.
We arrived at this shape after repeated minor modifications to ensure that it is easy to hold things in, easy to hold, and has a beautiful appearance.
Because it’s so pretty, we also recommend trying to arrange it with a scarf.
■Can be held in 2 ways
With shoulder strap
*It can be worn on the shoulder using the included shoulder strap*. It’s convenient to carry it over your shoulder when you want to free up your hands or when it’s heavy with a lot of stuff in it.
The shoulder part can be easily removed, so please use it according to your preference.
*It also comes with an adjuster so you can adjust the length*.
■Even though it’s called “mini,” it has plenty of capacity!
Although it’s called a “mini tote,” it can hold *plenty* of luggage. In the photo above…
* – Parasol – 500ml plastic bottle – Tri-fold wallet (not visible…) – Smartphone – Business card holder – Hand towel – B5 size notebook ・One pouch with a gusset of about 2cm to 3cm ・One mini-sized pouch * Contains.
When you actually hold it with the above baggage in it, it looks like this. The cap of the plastic bottle pops out a little, but it doesn’t lose its shape and you can hold it neatly even if you put this much in it.
Plenty of pockets
Easy to organize
There are two pockets on the outside (the center pocket is on both sides) and three inside, so it’s easy to organize. *
The largest inside pocket is just large enough to hold one paperback book.
■No. 8 canvas that can be used for a long time
The No. 8 canvas I’m using this time is extremely durable. *
The fabric feels sturdy just by touching it, and is durable enough to be used every day.
It stands on its own, so you can safely place it on the floor. When you go out or put your bag on the floor at a restaurant, it’s not pleasant to have it fall over.
With this bag, you don’t have to worry about that; it *stands on its own* even when there are few contents.
Therefore, the bag will not fall over and the contents will not come out.
The natural texture of yarn
Technical skills that cannot be lost
By the way, the texture of this fabric is precisely because it is made from Kurashiki Canvas.
Usually, the thread is glued to make it easier to weave.
However,* this bag does not have glue attached to the thread. * This is because when glue is applied, there is a process to remove the glue after weaving, which destroys the natural texture of the thread.
* Kurashiki Canvas has a technology that allows it to weave fabric without using glue on the threads*, making it possible to use what comes out of the loom as fabric.
When weaving without glue, it is difficult to adjust the machine, and the threads break more easily than when weaving with glue.
Craftsmen who know every point thoroughly create everything in harmony. *
Message from the creator
Regarding the pattern, I revised the pattern many times to make the side triangles look nice.
When sewing, there is no lining, so we pay special attention to the processing of the bobbin thread (back side).
I had to be careful when combining the sides, as the silhouette would change if I wasn’t careful.
Please use it for a long time.
The real thrill is enjoying the changes over time.
The best part about canvas bags is that they gradually become more flavorful as they age.
Just like denim, which allows you to enjoy aging in your own way, *it grows into a one-of-a-kind item* as you use it.
How it changes over time depends on how you use it.
Please enjoy the process of creating depth in the dough.
