This is a coin purse made with fabric finished using the "katazome" stencil dyeing technique.
Because the pattern is created by hand from the shaping to the dyeing process, each piece has its own unique character, even with the same design.
The hand-dyed, slightly uneven outlines and patterns—these "irregularities" characteristic of handmade work give each item a charming, warm expression.
This item captures the subtle breath of human craftsmanship that cannot be expressed digitally.
※Please note that the pattern appearance varies depending on the cut, so you cannot choose the pattern placement in advance. Thank you for your understanding.
**Comfortable for everyday use**
The size comfortably fits in both hands and is compact enough to fit into a bag without bulk.
It also has a perfect size to hold small items like lip balm or makeup tools.

The coin purse opens widely because of the clasp, and the opening and closing are smooth.
You can easily open it with one hand and quickly access your essentials, making it very convenient.
**Feel the quality every time you hold it**

The metal fittings are made of brass, giving a nostalgic yet refined atmosphere.
The interior is finished with thick linen, ensuring a sturdy and carefully crafted feel.
The contrast with the subdued color of the outer fabric adds a touch of excitement each time you open it.
**Made with care, one by one**

The maker of this coin purse is "Yotsume Senpaku."
This dyeing workshop creates patterns on fabric using traditional Japanese techniques such as "katazome" (stencil dyeing) and "tsutsugaki" (tube painting), and then transforms these fabrics into products like coin purses.
The outer fabric of the coin purse features "katazome" dyeing.
Katazome begins with creating an original stencil pattern. The stencil is placed on the fabric, and a paste made from rice flour and rice bran is applied through the stencil.
The areas with the paste resist dyeing, remaining white in the pattern.
Once the paste dries, dye is applied with a brush.
For single-color designs, this can be done in one step, but for multi-color patterns, colors are layered one by one, like painting a picture.
Finally, washing away the paste with water reveals the pattern clearly, and after drying, the piece is complete.
This lengthy process results in a single piece of fabric that is then shaped into a coin purse.
**Unique patterns found only here**

Therefore, this design can only be found here.
While reminiscent of traditional kasuri (ikat) patterns, the design features a relaxed, Nordic-inspired touch, giving it a gentle yet modern impression.
