Encounter with antique kimono fabric sleeping in the warehouse of a kimono merchant
 
Muromachi, located in Nakagyo-ku, Kyoto, is a kimono wholesaler district that has flourished since the Edo period. In Muromachi-dori, which is the center of the city, there are still many kimono shops.
However, with the change in lifestyle, the opportunities for Japan people to wear and buy kimonos have decreased significantly compared to a few decades ago, and in recent years, it is said that the kimono shipment rate in Kyoto has decreased by 93% from its heyday.
Against this backdrop,There are many objects that have been lying dormant in the warehouse for a long time without having the opportunity to be made into kimonos. Can we upcycle them to create new and valuable products?Based on the words of the Muromachi kimono merchant, this Muromachi Kurebukuro project was started.
 

What are we doing?

1. Bags made of rare and one-of-a-kind materials
The material of "Muromachi Kurebukuro" is an antique kimono fabric. Some of the old fabrics were made in the 1970s, and there are many rare and valuable fabrics.
Muromachi Kurebukuro is made of a wide range of materials, including high-end kimono fabrics such as Oshima Tsumugi, Yuki Tsumugi, and Yellow Hachijo, as well as fabrics for yukata and visiting clothes and haori. In addition, we have started to produce bags using Bukuro-obi, Nagoya obi, and more recently, Hakata obi.
 
2. Making bags that make the most of unique and bold anti-object designs
Kure's kimono fabric is a collection of techniques from craftsmen all over Japan. All of the antique kimono fabrics that were lying dormant in the warehouse of the kimono merchants were made by these craftsmen who spared no effort and took the time and effort to make them.
By all means, please enjoy the unique and bold patterns and colors of the former Kure clothing through "Muromachi Kurebukuro". Nowadays, it is hard to come across, and all of them are gems with a high design that makes it fun just to look at them.
 

Commitment to the product

1. A flat bag with a unique pattern of fabric
Each antique kimono fabric has a unique and distinctive color and design. For this reason, "Muromachi Kurebukuro" focuses on making bags on flat surfaces so that we can maximize the flavor of the beautiful fabrics made by our craftsmen.
 
2. Combination of materials that determine the individuality of the fabric
The antique kimono fabric that serves as the outer fabric of Muromachi Kure Bag comes in a variety of materials such as silk, cotton, and polyester, and comes in a wide variety of colors. We identify the individuality of each of these fabrics and consider all the combinations of lining and handles for each outer fabric.
 
3. Design and durability
For the lining of Muromachi Kurebukuro, we have selected washer-processed fabrics woven with a blend of hemp and cotton yarn, fabrics that match the texture of antique fabrics, and more recently, canvas fabrics.
In addition, the handle uses Sanada strings used for tea utensils and obi fastening, and more recently, leather strings, and we are always pursuing not only design but also durability of the bag.
 
4. Every item is one-of-a-kind
The kimono fabric with a large design will have a completely different atmosphere depending on the position of cutting. Even fabrics with a fine all-over design can have slight individual differences depending on the position of cutting, so Muromachi Kurebukuro has the interesting effect that all products are one-of-a-kind.
 
5. Waste-free manufacturing
In order to make the most of antique kimono fabrics, we also devise a cutting method so that there is no excess on the fabric. For example, the tote bag that we have been making since the start of the brand is a size that makes the most of the width of the cloth as it is, and the mini tote bag is designed so that it can be molded by two from the width of the object.
