Producer

Mini Waxed Canvas Tote | ichimaruni / Osaka

The name "Ichimaruni" comes from the Japanese phrase "hito ni" (人に), meaning "for people." This idea inspired a wordplay that led to the number 102, read as "ichi-maru-ni."  
With the concept of "Bags for the People," Ichimaruni creates bags that naturally fit into the daily lives of those who carry them, valuing a gentle presence that emerges without being overbearing.

Handling Precautions

• Paraffin-coated canvas has the characteristics of creases.
• The more you use the canvas tote, the softer and more textured it gets.
• At first you might notice candle smell, which will eventually fade.
• To maintain the texture for a long time, it is ideal not to wash it as much as possible. For stains, wipe off the stain lightly with a wet cloth or rub it lightly with a white eraser. To remove oil-based stains (hand stains, etc.), apply neutral detergent in water and rub gently with a soft brush.
• If it is necessary, wash it gently by hand. You will lose the elasticity of the paraffin finish, but you can enjoy softer texture.
• Since canvas is made of cotton, the color may fade. Please be aware that the color may transfer to clothes when wet.
• It is delicate to moisture and may get moldy in a hot and humid place. If you are not going to use the product for a long time, please store it in a well-ventilated shady place to prevent mold and stains.
• The tag is made of genuine leather and may stretch slightly. If it gets wet with water or sweat, it may cause color fading or staining.
• Tassels may fade or discolor due to friction, moisture, or UV rays.
• Keep out of reach of infants and young children.
