“Hexagon Flower” vine of mountain grapes bag basket
Description
A bag of mountain grape made of the second leather is the most affordable and most distributed bag.
Using skins taken from the vine of mountain grapes, skilled craftsmen put into pieces each and every one is made up.
Since the skin of mountain grapes has a characteristic of absorbing oil, if you stroke your bag with your hand everyday, you absorb oil and slowly change to a color of amber, the gloss increases.
Although it says to grow this, you can have bags that have only one in the world by bringing up differences in color in the same bag even in raising conditions.
Message from the craftsman
“We knit from the bottom of the bag according to the wooden pattern made by the knitting craftsman.
In order to make the mesh uniform, it is impossible to finish beautifully unless the power of the fingertip is strong. Finally, I remove a fine keba and a basket is completed.
Hexagon flower knitting with 5 mm width etc is made by skilled craftsmen over several days so it can not be mass produced and the scarcity is high. Therefore, the number on the market is limited.
Nearly all bags that attach inner cloth are persimmon juice dyed.
I use the persimmon juice stock liquid I got from a long-established store in Kyoto.
Why is persimmon juice dyeing persimmon itself has insecticidal and mildew-proof effect.
The vine of mountain grapes will not grow moldy like fibers like bamboo, but when stored in places with high humidity, molds may adhere to the surface.
Although it is expensive to prevent it, I attach the inner cloth of persimmon juice dye to almost all bags.
