Sashiko Denim Messenger Bag 01

This messenger bag is a one-of-a-kind piece built from reclaimed denim jeans, reimagined with shishiko-inspired patchwork and hand stitching throughout. The original jean structure provides durability and character, while layered flannel and denim patches bring depth, color, and texture. Every stitch is placed by hand, reinforcing the bag while celebrating the beauty of visible mending traditions. The design includes a flap closure, long shoulder strap, and the original jean pocket details, making it both functional and distinctly expressive. Made in the U.S. from reclaimed fabric, this bag carries forward the story of every textile used in its creation.
