Handcrafted "Ro" Summer Kimono Sacoche - Translucent Silk & Hand-dyed Leather

This is an adult shoulder pouch with a subtle touch of Japanese taste, perfect for everyday use, and not overly sweet. The frill of this sacoche is made from "Ro," a rare summer kimono fabric that adorns Japanese summers. Its vertical shape makes it easy to quickly take out your smartphone or wallet.

Ro is the "art of coolness," a traditional weaving technique that creates small gaps by crossing threads, allowing air to pass through and bringing a cool visual sensation. 

In ancient Japan, people found "wabi-sabi"—a quiet and understated beauty—in the harsh summer heat by wearing this translucent fabric. By combining its delicate texture with robust black canvas, we have created an "adult-taste" bag with a refined sweetness.

The word "sacoche" is French for "bag" or "pouch," and it originally referred to a functional bag created for road cyclists to easily receive food and supplies during races.

We have fused its ultimate functional beauty with the spirit of "monozukuri" (craftsmanship) by Japanese artisans.

In particular, the genuine leather shoulder strap is individually hand-dyed by artisans in a calm brown, offering the joy of watching it develop a deeper character with continued use.

Whether you're exploring the city or using it as a secondary bag while traveling, this sacoche allows you to carry your essentials smartly when you want to travel light. Just by wearing this sacoche, everyday actions transform into an "experience" of casually enjoying Japanese tradition. The translucent frills gently sway with every step, adding depth and elegance to monochrome outfits.

Carrying vintage "Ro" in a modern form is a "sustainable luxury" choice that connects the fading beautiful memories of Japanese summer to future generations. It possesses a unique presence unlike mass-produced items. Not only is it a special treat for yourself, but it is also sure to bring unparalleled joy as a gift for those who appreciate the stories behind different cultures. Take this one-of-a-kind, refreshing story into your hands.

Care instructions: As genuine leather and vintage silk are used, please be careful to avoid getting it wet.
