Showa Shoji Company Bag Amarimono Tote Bag

Amarimono Tote Bag

$70

In the Asahi region of Japan, furniture and silk production have coexisted for generations, each trade leaving behind remnants of color, texture, and material. The Amarimono Tote is born from those remnants. Woven strips of leftover fabric, gathered after furniture manufacturing, are united into a structured, slim tote that carries both daily essentials and a considered point of view.

The name says it: amarimono means "leftover things" in Japanese. What might be discarded becomes the raw material for something whole. Each bag is unique in its color combinations, shaped by whatever the production floor left behind. Exterior pockets on each side, finished in a contrasting color, keep frequently reached-for items within easy reach. A durable leather handle completes the construction.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does 'Amarimono' mean?

Amarimono is a Japanese word meaning 'leftover things' or 'remnants.' The name directly reflects the bag's origin: it is woven from textile scraps generated during furniture production, giving discarded material a renewed purpose.

Where is the Amarimono Tote made?

The bag is produced in Asahi, a city in Aichi Prefecture, Japan, with a long history in both furniture manufacturing and silk weaving. The Amarimono Tote draws on both of those regional traditions.

Is each Amarimono Tote identical?

No. Because the bag is woven from whatever textile remnants are available after furniture production, the exact color combinations and material composition vary from piece to piece, making each one distinct.

What is the Showa Shoji Company?

Showa Shoji is a Japanese company based in the Asahi region, known for working with traditional weaving techniques and local material by-products to create considered, functional objects that reflect the craft culture of their region.

What can the Amarimono Tote carry?

Its slim, structured profile is well suited to magazines, sketchbooks, tablets, and everyday essentials. The exterior side pockets provide quick access to smaller items without opening the main compartment.
