Embracing Kimono Culture: A Collaborative Bag Launch

Nuno ni Shitai, a company based in Takashima City, Shiga Prefecture, is excited to unveil its latest collaboration with Keniamarilia. This partnership aims to produce a limited edition braided bag that incorporates the beauty and texture of traditional kimono fabric. Designed for everyday use, these bags are set to debut on July 3rd and 4th, 2026, at the "Japan Made Commitment Store" in Yurakucho, Tokyo.

The Concept Behind the Collaboration

This collaboration arose after encountering Keniamarilia, which shares a vision of perpetuating kimono culture and proposing a contemporary standard for traditional garments. Keniamarilia is dedicated to making kimono a natural part of modern life, while Nuno ni Shitai champions the idea of a future where craftsmanship is rightfully recognized. Both companies, although working in different areas, are united by a shared passion for passing down the value of craftsmanship, culture, and the art of making to future generations.

Product Overview

The limited edition braided bags are crafted from kimono fabric, available in two sizes: S and M. The S size is priced at ¥26,800 (tax included), while the M size retails for ¥29,800 (tax included). Each bag is a unique piece with different patterns, showcasing the intricate designs derived from the kimono fabric. They feature the patented braided handles characteristic of Nuno ni Shitai, each bag being hand-crafted by skilled artisans, ensuring that no two bags are alike.

Sales Details

The bags will be available for purchase at the Japan Made Commitment Store on July 3rd and 4th, 2026. Given the limited quantity, any remaining stock after the event will be made available via online lottery for a fair distribution among buyers. It is important to note that depending on the demand during the event, online availability cannot be guaranteed.
