Kinchaku (巾着) – Japanese-style drawstring pouch.
Purpose: Carrying valuables and personal possessions: cell phone, car keys, sunglasses etc.

Work Can Wait – Shigoto Wa Ato De Ii (仕事はあとでいい)
Series concept:
This very limited series celebrates the art of slowing down and achieving a perfect work-life balance.
Each drawstring pouch in Work Can Wait series is a gentle reminder to step away (however briefly) from work assignments and reconnect with what really matters: forest walks, mid-week ocean escapes, or simply playing with your pet.
The lining of each pouch is made from repurposed luxury shirts manufactured by companies specializing in high-end work attire, and once worn by the business executives, symbolically transforming “modern business uniforms” into casual functional EDC bags rooted in history and Japanese spirit.
