If you're like me, and you always seem to be needing just one more canvas bag in your life, read on (I've found what might be the ultimate line of utilitarian canvas bags, from Japan).
The Japanese brand has taken the humble tote and added clever details—small inside pockets, outer straps. a drawstring opening—that make these bags hard to resist. We've noticed them appearing in a few discerning shops and liked the recent shoot the chaps at OEN did to highlight the brand—an homage of sorts. OEN carries an extensive selection of their line in the UK.
