Meet our new Drawstring Pocket Tote Bag, Hikihimo Tote 引きひも. It is a beautiful medium sized tote bag with a drawstring closure for its main body, accompanied by a total of 7 lovely, practical pocket compartments. Surrounding the main drawstring compartment are 4 deep slip exterior pockets, each pair separated by a metal snap. You can use these to keep items you'll like to quickly retrieve such as your mobile phone, transportation card, tissues and more. Open the snaps to widen the 4 exterior pockets into just 2 and they can even fit a small tablet or Kindle on the go. Reach inside the drawstring main compartment and you will find another 2 more lining slip pockets and our popular water bottle compartment. The water bottle compartment holds your bottle upright, preventing it from rolling around and causing spillage. You can even fold down the drawstring closure to use the bag as a regular tote! Dip into our wide range of chic or cute Japanese fabrics to craft a Hikihimo Tote 引きひも that you'll call your own; matching it with a drawstring colour of your choice.
