The Sashiko Tote is made from a heavyweight Japanese indigo sashiko fabric—deep blue, richly textured, and with the kind of density you notice the moment you pick it up.

The fabric weighs in around 11.5 oz and features that signature rice-grain surface, created by tightly woven cotton yarns. Dyed with real indigo before weaving, it carries a subtle, marbled character that will soften and fade with time. Traditionally, sashiko was built for durability—tough enough for work, breathable enough for daily use.

We kept the design just as considered. A straightforward tote with clean lines, reinforced handles, and enough structure to hold its shape without feeling rigid.

Made in our downtown Raleigh, NC workshop.
