The stylish transparent Shisuru シースルー Bag (see through in Japanese) is a statement piece. It is also practical as it keeps the bag contents shielded from prying eyes in a lovely, cube-shaped Japanese drawstring inner bag. Besides looking chic, the PVC bag exterior can be easily wiped down to keep clean. The inner drawstring bag is removable so you can make a few in different fabrics to carry inside your Shisuru--matching your outfit colour of the day. Handles are a standard brown canvas colour with bronze rivets, but you are free to choose your Japanese fabric for the inner drawstring bag.
