Deep in our archives, we found a stack of old backpacks from at least a decade ago. Instead of looking at what they were, we looked at what they could become. We took them apart, carefully, and discovered that the inside lining, a black printed fabric, was actually incredibly beautiful.

These new pouches are made from that very lining. A material that already existed, already had a story, and simply needed a second life. We paired it with fabrics from our archives, prints that have travelled with us for years, and suddenly everything made sense. These pouches feel familiar and new at the same time.

They are perfect as gifts. Thoughtful, practical, and quietly special. The kind of object you reach for every day without thinking, and then realise you have had it for years.

Each pouch comes with a leather drawstring, inspired by a pouch I once received from a Japanese fan who joined one of my workshops. It was such a simple, generous gift, beautifully made, and I never forgot it. This is our way of passing that feeling on.

We will be launching these pouches in one week’s time. Not tomorrow. Some things deserve a little patience.

Nothing wasted. Everything considered. And proof that beauty often already exists, waiting to be rediscovered.
