haru nomura Plant-dyed artist Haruka Nomura Natural dyed linen bag “Travel bag” Wine red [HNB-001-WIN]

Only natural materials can produce unique shapes. Plant dyeing artist Haruka Nomura dyes a wide variety of items in natural colors, from small wooden beads to sturdy, reliable bags.

Nomura began making products using plant dyes after meeting Masaaki Aoki of Hand-dyed Fabrics, whose products we carry in our store.

When dyeing with natural dyes such as madder, pomegranate, and logwood, the final product can be slightly different depending on the weather and mood of the day, even if the dyeing conditions are the same.

Another characteristic of plant dyeing is that the color changes with use. Nomura's desire to "create warm objects that breathe together with someone's life, and that even when the color fades, are engraved into their memory" is also embodied in this.

Artist Nomura's passion for the "colors" born from nature and the process of giving them form. Each and every one of his works is filled with a warm, nostalgic atmosphere, traveling with someone, breathing and growing.

This lightweight, 100% linen crossbody bag was born from a chic and atmospheric concept that makes you want to hop on your bike and go on a leisurely trip.

The dyeing is of course done with natural plant dyes. It is dyed with a natural dye called madder, giving it a deep red color like red wine. It is mordanted with iron, giving it a calm color.

We also recommend using it in combination with a backpack or tote bag. When you have a lot of luggage on your trip, you can store what you need in this shoulder bag, which is more convenient than managing everything in a large bag.

Production may be delayed due to the artist's circumstances (such as holding a solo exhibition or a period of concentrated orders). In that case, we will inform you of the delivery date again.
