Matsunoya Akebi Trunk-shaped Handbag

Akebia vine crafts, which have continued since the Jomon period,
inherit the wisdom of our ancestors, who utilized the blessings of rich nature.
Among them, Akebia crafts from Aomori Prefecture use high-quality local Mitsuba Akebia as their material,
and only the "vines" that grew that year are harvested from summer to autumn.




Akebia from Aomori Prefecture is
known for its dark color and high quality.

It is characterized by its reddish-brown, slightly withered, calm texture, and
beautifully expressive weave.

A vine bag you'll want to get your hands on someday.
While a bit pricey, its ambiance is exceptional.
Not just for Japanese clothing, but also for everyday wear.
It's a lifelong item you'll want to cherish for a long time.

The long handle, woven from several vines, allows you to easily slip your arm through.

The gusseted body type, with its moderate opening, is large enough to fit your usual belongings. A4 files can also be placed horizontally.

The basket, carefully woven with several different techniques, is rounded and shows a soft and warm expression.

The intricate bottom and the advanced technique of weaving the handle together are superb.

Akebia baskets, woven over a long period, gain more luster with use.







Akebia material is vulnerable to humidity, so storing it away is strictly prohibited. Even during the rainy season or when not in use, absolutely do not store it away, as it can cause mold to grow. We also do not recommend storing it in thin paper or cloth, as this will hinder air circulation. For light dirt like dust, gently brush it off. Please do not use detergents. We hope you will use it often and enjoy the process of your basket maturing.
