Each one of a kind Japanese purse, evening bag, clutch, shoulder bag, tote, briefcase, accessory and quilted table runner is the result of a collaborative effort by a group of Japanese textile artists working to the highest standards of craftsmanship and design. It’s fitting, then, that we call them jotobags “joto” means “excellent” in Japanese.

You’ll find a Japanese kimono fabric folded bag called a furoshiki included in each handmade jotobag. Traditionally, the Japanese have used these Japanese kimono fabrics to wrap gifts. You may choose to do the same, or use it inside your East Meets West contemporary kimono fabric handbag or kimono fabric accessory to carry jewelry, coins, cosmetics or other small items.
