The Routine Linen

Everyday linen

“Life is but a tissue of habits.”

— Henri-Frédéric Amiel

If we believe that, we can change our life by changing our habits. And I think that good habits are about having a good routine in our daily life. In this blog, I would like to introduce our products as things to accompany such a good daily routine.

Yarn-dyed Linen Daily Bag

Now, we would like to introduce our Yarn-dyed Daily Bag. Its fabric is a yarn-dyed linen fabric woven in our own factory. Of course, it is selvedge linen. The luster and coloring unique to yarn-dyed linen fabrics look just like a silk scarf. We hope that you will use this cloth bag as your companion when you go out for shopping, etc., with the same excitement as when you go out wearing your favorite scarf.

This daily bag is actually so-called AZUMA BUKURO which is a traditional Japanese cloth bag. The origin of this bag is not known, but it seems to have been widely used in the Edo period. When I look at these bags and furoshiki wrapping cloth, I am reminded once again that the Japanese are very adept at handling cloth freely.

The Origami Culture

Let's take a quick look at what AZUMA BUKURO is all about. When you look at how it is made, you will be amazed at its wisdom. Please look at the diagram below.

First, prepare a rectangular piece of cloth. Fold it into three equal parts.

Next, sew A and B together at the red dotted line.

Then, insert C between A and B, which were sewn together earlier, and now sew B and C together at the green dotted line.

Finally, turn it over and you are done.

What do you think? Just two stitches are all it takes to make a bag. And if you have a rectangle of fabric, you don't even need scissors. I think that perhaps it comes from the origami culture.

The Washable Bag

Furthermore, as it does not require any metal fittings or other accessories, you can fold it up neatly and compactly, making it very convenient to carry around.

It is folded up neatly and small, making it easy to carry around.

Tenjin-factory has made these convenient AZUMA BUKURO of linen fabrics. The reason is that linen is durable, can be used repeatedly and washed at home. Also it can be put in the washing machine as soon as you get home from shopping, which is ideal in these days of viral disasters. Folding it up and keeping it in your bag at all times for unexpected shopping trips make you at ease.

One of the advantages of linen is that it dries quickly after washing.

Sturdily Sewn

Now let's look at the details. Our main concern is its sturdy construction. It is designed to withstand considerable weight.

All seams are double stitched.

For example, two 5 kg bags of rice (10 kg in total) can be put in it with no problem.

Some customers say that the fabric of this bag is thick and soft to the touch, even when holding heavy objects, so fingers do not get sore.

It can be used in a variety of ways, such as hanging on the shoulder, hanging on the arm, or as a handbag, by changing the position of the tie according to the amount of luggage.

If you wash it in the washing machine as soon as you get home, any dirt or viruses that may be bothering you will be washed away clean.

Cheerful Colors

Now let's talk about color. It is said that color has the power to move emotions. Therefore, we decided to use a combination of colors that would be bright and cheerful. What do you think? Doesn't it make you feel cheerful just by looking at them?

Currently, there are 9 color cmbinations. Have you ever found favorite one?

Finally, a piece of linen in the daily routine.

That's all for now. Thank you for reading until the end. We hope that Tenjin Factory's " Yarn-dyed Linen Daily Bag " will be useful to you. We will continue to communicate the appeal of linen products that are close to your daily lives.
