Boro Jute Weekender Bag. This sturdy jute tote, big enough for all your weekend essentials, is patch worked in a mix of handwoven blue fabrics which reminds us of Japanese indigo dyed workwear and the faded colours found in 'Boro'. With blanket stitch detail and zip closure, it is lined with cotton and has two useful pockets, one zipped one open. This longer handle length is great for wearing over the shoulder.

What is Boro? Boro means 'rags' in Japanese and refers to clothing and textiles that have been repeatedly patched and mended with layers of cloth to extend lifespan. Tied with the philosophy of mottainai - a respect and regret for anything that has to be wasted. It was borne of economic and environmental hardship.
