Vintage Japanese Kawaii Cute Bag-Kinchaku Bukuro-Drawstring Bag
via etsy.com
This is a 巾着袋 Kinchaku-Bukuro or Japanese drawstring bag.
This was handmade in the 1980's. Though this is 20+ years old, it is in perfect brand new condition as it was never used. The lady who made them loved to sew and she had so many she never used most of them.
The outside is made up of many different fabric patterns made mostly of cotton. The inside is lined with more cotton fabric.
This measures 12 cm at the widest point and 9.5 cm long. It is closed by pulling the strings together which then can be used to carry it.
This is a wonderful example of Japanese handmade bags and is perfect for carrying small things like makeup etc.
