How can one embody the adventurous spirit of ONE PIECE? Crafting an everyday tote bag from Edo-period ship canvas would be an excellent idea!
This time, "PREMICO" has successfully recreated and integrated "Matsueimon-ho," the canvas frequently used for ship sails during the Edo period, to create a ONE PIECE IP tote bag. This collision of ancient and modern, brimming with romantic and passionate sentiment, has produced a practical tote bag full of anime character – ONE PIECE fans will instantly understand! In addition to utilizing Japan's oldest canvas, "Matsueimon-ho," it is also complemented by the traditional Japanese technique of Banshu-ori weaving and high-quality cowhide, giving birth to a sturdy, lightweight, and high-quality "ONE PIECE" classic tote bag!
"Matsueimon-ho" was created in 1785, over 200 years ago, by "Kura Matsueimon" from Banshu Takasago (Hyogo Prefecture). The material was widely used for ships (a perfect connection to ONE PIECE!), and it is said to have contributed to the flourishing development of the maritime industry during the Edo period (so carrying it will make your life sail smoothly!). This "ONE PIECE Matsueimon-ho Tote Bag" further employs the traditional "Banshu-ori" weaving technique, using warp and weft threads of different thicknesses, combined in units of two, to create a thick, strong, yet lightweight and high-quality tote bag.
Just imagine carrying a tote bag filled with ONE PIECE elements, crafted from Japan's century-old artisan canvas – every outing will be filled with the excitement of heading towards the Grand Line! Let's immediately unbox the "Monkey D. Luffy" and "Trafalgar Law" tote bags. If you're worried about them selling out, scroll down to the purchase link at the end of the article!
▼ "Monkey D. Luffy" Model
The most beloved and passionate character among countless ONE PIECE fans is none other than the protagonist, Monkey D. Luffy! The overall weave is adorned with delicate wave-like patterns and elegant polka dots, allowing you to appreciate the exquisite texture brought by "Banshu-ori" whether viewed from afar or up close. The Straw Hat Pirates' flag is embossed on the front of the bag, and the entire bag is accented with red stitching. The understated color scheme paired with vibrant, dynamic red is spot on!
Below, the kimono pattern worn by Luffy is embroidered, and the bag's interior uses fabric with the same pattern as the kimono, imbuing the "ONE PIECE Matsueimon-ho Tote Bag" with even more Japanese flair.
The leather details significantly enhance the bag's quality, exuding an appealing cowhide aroma. The canvas has also undergone PVC (Poly Vinyl Chloride) processing, making it water-repellent and stain-resistant. Carry it boldly, unafraid of the turbulent waves of the New World!
▼ "Trafalgar Law" Model
The "Surgeon of Death," "Trafalgar Law" model, features dark canvas in a cool black image, perfectly matching the seemingly cold and indifferent personality of Trafalgar Law! The exterior is adorned with orange-yellow stitching, and the Heart Pirates' flag is embossed on the upper front of the bag. Below, the kimono pattern worn by Law is embroidered, presenting a mixed style of pirate and Japanese aesthetics. The interior uses fabric with the same pattern as the kimono, creating a strong contrast between inside and out, just like the diverse emotional expressions of a surgeon!
The practicality of both bags is incredibly powerful and irreplaceable, especially their storage capacity, which can easily accommodate all items needed for every outing – A4 documents, laptops, water bottles, books, and pouches can all fit inside!
Furthermore, the bag features internal pockets and a zippered compartment, allowing for organized storage to keep the bag tidy. The ample bottom area ensures the bag won't deform when items are placed inside.
