Learn to make our new Genki 元気 Pouch—a lovely, new functional pouch design now trending among Japanese crafters. Though flat in construction, it can expand to contain more. During this period, you can fit in your in-case-you-need-it surgical mask, anti-bacterial wet wipes and even a small hand sanitiser in its multi-compartments. Even after, you can use it as a regular pouch to carry your passport, stationeries, cards or anything you like.

- You'll receive max 5 print fabric options to choose one from
- We'll match a suitable solid coloured exterior fabric/inner lining to your chosen print fabric
- Laminated Fabric Options:
- Only 2 - 3 Sanrio Characters waterproof, laminated print fabric options
- We'll match a suitable solid coloured cotton canvas inner lining to your chosen laminated fabric (Exterior will entirely be of the waterproof material)
