[haru nomura] Record Bag

Whether it's for a day out in the city or an overnight trip to your favorite destination, the Record Bag's roomy design lets you carry everything you need. Designed with a soft and relaxed silhouette, it drapes naturally against the body, creating a comforting experience that feels like a hug. Crafted from lightweight linen, it feels airy and effortless as a feather, an ideal companion for both your adventures near and far. A special tag is sewn on every piece, recording the date, temperature, humidity, and plant dye that was used, which celebrates the beauty of the exact moment in time that it was made. The variations in color and texture reflect the uniqueness of every bag. As you carry it through daily life and new adventures, we hope you'll enjoy watching it soften, age, and develop its own patina alongside you!

❖ Precautions:

Please note that when the bag is new, the plant dye may transfer from both the inside and outside of the bag, including onto lighter clothing, nude / natural-colored leather artifacts, in addition to items placed inside the bag.

❖ Maintenance and care:

To clean small stains, lightly dab with a damp cloth. For stubborn stains where deep cleaning feels necessary, hand-wash separately in cold or lukewarm water. Please keep in mind that washing may change its color and appearance. When your bag is not in use, allow it to rest in a well-ventilated space, away from direct sunlight, heat, and humidity.

❖ Plant Dye reference:

Akane: Indian madder root
Purple: Logwood bark
Light indigo, Indigo: Indian indigo
Green: Japanese bayberry bark
Brown & ink: Persimmon (When the bag is new, these colors have a very stiff/firm texture due to the reinforcing effect of persimmon tannins. Over time and use, they will become soft and shiny. If you are interested in knowing more about persimmon dye, please read this story.)
